Planets and minor bodies

Three are the research areas comprising the group "Planets and minor bodies of the Solar System": Planets, minor bodies of the Solar System and Cosmic Dust Laboratory. Broadly speaking, this group aims to provide us with an integrated view of the Solar System making use of observational data obtained from ground and space. Moreover, several members of the group are focused on the development of models of planetary and cometary atmospheres in the Solar System. Regarding the data obtained from space, it has to be noted that we are involved in 5 planetary missions from the scientific point of view as well as from the technical point of view. All technological challenges that we face are mostly devoted to electronics engineering, being developed until now by members of the UDIT.
