Undergraduate Engagement

• HSFL Missions provide unique hands-on research experiences for hundreds of

students.

• Planetary Exploration Technology Track – Fall 2017– Planetary Exploration Technology (PET) certificate program to be offered from Fall 2017.

– Classes at 200-400 level team-taught by the faculty of the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and

Planetology (HIGP/SOEST).

– Current plan includes 11 distinct course offerings, with a mixture of basic science and

technology/engineering focused classes designed to appeal to Earth Science and Engineering

undergraduates with an interest in the science and technology of planetary exploration, as well as

physicists, chemists, and biologists with an interest in applications for their science.

– Courses are strongly focused on teaching via hands-on research experience, in both the laboratory

and the field, and using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, by HIGP faculty who are world-

leaders in the field (as reflected in the ~$10M pa in extramural funding HIGP receives) .

– Mixture of laboratory classes, HI-focused classes, field-classes, and classroom instruction.

– Technology branch requires experienced engineering support. Propose 5 years for 3 0.5FTE

engineering lecturers. The engineers currently work for HSFL.

Planetary Exploration Technology

1. History of solar system exploration (Existing course)Why (the science) and how (the engineering and technology) humans have explored our planetary neighborhood

2. Cosmochemistry (Existing course)What are the physical and chemical processes that formed the materials we now observe in our Solar System?

3. Hawai'i as a planetary analog (New Course)Many processes that shaped the surfaces of Mars, the Moon, Mercury, and Venus, can be observed right here, in Hawai'i

4. Planetary surfaces and atmospheres (Existing course)The physical and chemical processes that produce the surface geology and atmospheres of the planets

5. Planetary interiors (Existing course)What can high pressure mineral physics experiments, conducted at HIGP, tell us about planetary interiors?

6. Extraterrestrial materials analysis (New Course)HIGP has some of the best facilities in the world for analyzing extraterrestrial materials, such as meteorites, interplanetary dust

particles and comet dust. Students will learn how our FEI Titan Transmission Electron Microscope and our Cameca ims 1280 ion microprobe are used to probe the origins of our Solar System

7. Remote sensing of planetary surfaces (Existing course)We send satellites with imaging cameras to orbit the planets. How do they work, and how do we analyze the data collected?

8. Instrumentation for planetary exploration (New Course)How do we design and build the instruments carried on board the satellites, landers, and rovers that we send into space?

9. Space mission design (New Course)A space mission seeks to answer a science question using instruments carried onboard a satellite, and launched into space on a rocket. What elements of design, engineering, management, and budget are important to designing a successful mission?

10. Space mission operations (New Course)Once the satellite is in orbit, or the rover is on the surface, how do we control it? How do we communicate with it? How does itcommunicate with us? How does it send our data back? How do we get the data to scientists?

11. Senior Capstone Mission (New Course)Interdisciplinary deep dive including science and technology students working on a mission concept.
