Once more, this time with a room.  😊

 

Community Input for VERITAS Radar Imaging and RPI Targets

Venusians and the Venus-curious!  Bring on your great target ideas!

Tues. 10-11, The Woodlands room, second floor, at the end of the hall of peripheral meeting rooms

 

In Addition to global datasets, VERITAS has two types of targeted observations:

1. high resolution (15 m) SAR imaging (~25% of Venus) of key geologic features and
2. repeat pass interferometry (<0.2% of Venus – a precious resource!) to search for vertical surface deformation as small as 1.5 cm over localized (<200 km) regions.

This meeting will introduce the VERITAS missions, the characteristics of the targeted datasets, preliminary ideas for how target solicitation will be done, and start priming the pump for creative science input to optimize the use of these important assets.
