OUTER PLANET SYSTEMS SESSION OF AOGS
Please be notified of the Planetary Science Session PS22 :
"Outer planet systems," which is included in the Planetary
Science Program of the AOGS (Asia-Oceania Geosciences Society)
1st Annual Meeting, to take place in Singapore (5-8 July 2004).
The deadline for abstracts is 15 April 2004.

Brief Description of PS22: "Outer planets systems"
The Galileo mission has greatly improved our understanding of
Jupiter and the Jovian satellite system. We expect the same from
Cassini and Huygens for Saturn and its major moon Titan as well
as the other satellites and the rings. Reports on data from both
missions as well as interpretations and theoretical studies are
welcome in this session. The session will also be open for those
contributing about Uranus and Neptune, in particular in comparison
with Jupiter and Saturn, as well as for general studies of gaseous
planets and their rocky and icy satellites. We encourage
presentations on ground-based measurements that help us complete
our vision and understanding of our Solar System. Also, laboratory
experiments tightly connected to these aspects with direct
applications to the studies of outer planets and their systems are
welcome. Posters are also solicited.

16th ANNUAL NASA PLANETARY SCIENCES SUMMER SCHOOL
Applications are now being accepted for the 16th Annual NASA
Planetary Sciences Summer School and are due June 4. At least
one session will be held August 2-6, 2004, at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The school is intended for
science and engineering graduate and post-doc students who have a
strong interest in careers in planetary exploration. An intensive
team exercise introduces students to the process of developing a
mission concept into reality. More information and the application
is on-line at http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/pscischool/
