Conference news, recent and future lunar and planetary meetings Options

[Phil Stooke]

Just a few bits and pieces for people interested in planetary science conferences.

First, the Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (https://sservi.nasa.gov/) has been very good at putting meetings online, including recordings and posters.

Here is the European Lunar Symposium meeting from May this year:

And here is the NASA Exploration Science Forum from earlier this month (recordings not up yet but will be, via the program):

Next, LPSC, the venerable Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. It was just announced that next year's meeting in mid-March 2023 will be held in person in The Woodlands, Texas (a bit north of Houston on I-45), plus virtually. It's been at The Woodlands for over 10 years. Unfortunately LPSC presentation recordings were only available for a few weeks after the meeting.

After next year's meeting they are looking for a new venue outside Texas. That will be a first for LPSC. I do regret that it had to move away from the JSC area south of Houston, which I enjoyed for many years, but I won't really miss The Woodlands.

This link is to a list of accepted abstracts for this year's LPSC. Not abstracts themselves, just a list of titles. But it makes for tantalizing reading. I am looking forward to two Chandrayaan 3 abstracts especially:


Iyer K. V. 1180 Digital Elevation Model Generation from Navigation Camera of Chandrayaan-3 Rover for Rover Mobility

Sridhar R. V. L. N. 1135 Close-Range In-Situ LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope) Experiment Aboard the Chandrayaan-3 Pragyaan Rover: Operations and Initial Results


(there are others as well... these are both posters but I hope for informative abstracts and with any luck online posters)
