The European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) 2008 will take place from 21 to 26 September in Münster, Germany.
Approximately 500 planetary and space scientists will gather for the third edition of the congress organised by the EU-funded Europlanet network and the European Planetology Network in association with the European Geosciences Union.
The programme covers latest results from ongoing planetary science missions, presentations of new planetary missions under study and exploration techniques. Sessions include Lunar exploration, nano-sat and nano-probe concepts for future planetary exploration, Mars polar deposits and first results from Phoenix, new science from Mercury, the origin of life and life under extreme conditions, astrobiology of subsurface ocean and Titan lakes. Presentations on the European Space Agency (ESA) Cosmic Vision candidate missions, Tandem, Laplace and Marco Polo, will be among the highlights of the meeting.
This year's programme also features a special session on contributions from amateur astronomy to planetary research.For further information, please visit:
