Planetary Science with Astrophysical Assets: Defining the Core Capabilities of Platforms

Abstract

Copyright © 2020, arXiv, All rights reserved. We seek to compile a uniform set of basic capabilities and needs to maximize the yield of Solar System science with future Astrophysics assets while allowing those assets to achieve their Astrophysics priorities. Within considerations of cost and complexity, inclusion of capabilities that make a particular platform useable to planetary science provide a critical advantage over platforms lacking such capabilities.
