Simulating Secondary Electron and Ion Emission from the Cassini Spacecraft in Saturn’s Ionosphere
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The Cassini spacecraft’s Grand Finale flybys through Saturn’s ionosphere provided unprecedented insight into the composition and dynamics of the gas giant’s upper atmosphere and a novel and complex spacecraft–plasma interaction.

The Reactions of Dications with Neutral Species: Understanding Planetary Ionospheres [PDF]
, 2021 Doubly charged cations (dications) of molecular and atomic species are predicted to be influential in high-energy environments such as the interstellar medium, the ionospheres of planets and satellites, and plasmas.

Species-dependent ion escape on Titan
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019 Cassini observations over the past ten years have revealed that Titan possesses a chemically complex ionosphere. In this study, we investigate the relative contributions of different ion species to the total ion escape on Titan, by dividing all ion ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Solar-wind control of the extent of planetary ionospheres [PDF]
, 1976 In our solar system there are at least four magnetic planets: Earth, Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars; while at least one planet, Venus, appears to be essentially nonmagnetic. The ionospheres of the magnetic planets are imbedded in their magnetosphere and thus

Martian Crustal Magnetic Field Effects on the Ionospheric Main Peak
The Astrophysical JournalPlanetary magnetic fields can affect ionospheric plasma transport and coupling with the solar wind. In contrast to the terrestrial global magnetic field, there are only weaker and sporadic crustal magnetic fields on Mars. Many studies have indicated that

Planetary ionospheres – sources and dynamic drivers [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractExternal energy inputs into all planetary upper atmospheres (including more than a half dozen moons with atmospheres) are comprised of combinations of solar EUV, soft x-rays, solar energetic particles, solar wind charged particles, magnetospherically accelerated particles, solar wind electric field, interplanetary dust particles as well as ...

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As non‐terrestrial networks (NTNs) become integral to future 6G systems, ensuring seamless connectivity and service continuity over low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is essential. This work investigates the impact of open radio access network (RAN) functional splits on handover performance in NTNs, focusing on minimizing service ...
