#09 NASA Infrared Telescope Facility | http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu
The NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) is located near the summit of Maunakea on the island of Hawai'i. The observatory is operated and managed for NASA by the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawai’i. The primary mission of the IRTF is to provide ground-based observations that support NASA Solar System programs, including planetary spacecraft missions, the characterization of near-Earth objects, and fundamental planetary research.
#10/11 Planetary Data System (PDS) | https://pds.nasa.gov/
The Planetary Data System (PDS) archives electronic data products from NASA planetary missions. PDS actively manages the archive to maximize its usefulness. All PDS-curated products, more than 1.6 PB, are stored in a well-defined format, peer reviewed, fully documented, and available online at https://pds.nasa.gov to scientists and to the public at no charge. The PDS is a member of the International Planetary Data Alliance (IPDA).
#12 LPG-PLANMAP | https://lpg-umr6112.fr
The research activities of the "Laboratoire de Planétologie et Géodynamique (LPG)" focus on four main topics: Marine Systems in Transition, Earth, Diversity of the Icy Worlds and Terrestrials Planets.
These activities extends from the Earth to the other solid bodies of the solar system and to the exoplanets. The technical platforms of the laboratory are devoted to observations, analysis and experiments over all scales, from spatial observations to field studies.
#13 VR2Planets – Virtual reality for Geosciences | https://vr2planets.com/ | @vr2planets
VR2Planets is a spinoff of the Planetology Laboratory of Nantes (CNRS/Univ. Nantes). The goal of VR2Planets is to create virtual reality applications for research and education in geosciences. We have a strong background in data integration coming from space exploration. The scientific background of VR2Planets engineers is a key strength to produce high fidelity and realistic virtual environments from the complete archives of images taken by robotic spacecraft.
With over 13 million bibliographic records, the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is the primary index of scholarly content in astronomy, planetary sciences and physics. During the meeting the ADS team will showcase the main features of its new search system and interface. Stop by to learn how to use the new ADS to search for people, papers, institutions, or topics and use the system to generate visualizations.
