* Planetary Data System, a system NASA uses for robotic mission data

Large-format prints ( 16 x 20 inches ) from the mosaics were created and several copies were distributed across the U. S. to NASA image and data libraries known as Regional Planetary Information Facilities.

In part because of high interest in the data and in part because that atlas is out of print, the task was undertaken at the Lunar and Planetary Institute to scan the large-format prints of Lunar Orbiter data.

The system uses data from the SIMBAD, the NASA / IPAC Extragalactic Database, the International Astronomical Union Circulars and the Lunar and Planetary Institute to identify papers referring to a given object, and can also search by object position, listing papers which concern objects within a 10 arcminute radius of a given Right Ascension and Declination.

Space stations, rockets, satellites, space junk as well as Sun, Moon and Planetary data are given.

This collection is a NASA Regional Planetary Image Facility ( RPIF ) and includes photographs, maps and other data from planetary missions including Apollo, Lunar Orbiter, Clementine, Mars Pathfinder, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Magellan, Galileo and Mars Global Surveyor.

Spacewatch, which uses a 90 centimeter telescope sited at the Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona, updated with automatic pointing, imaging, and analysis equipment to search the skies for intruders, was set up in 1980 by Tom Gehrels and Dr. Robert S. McMillan of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory of the University of Arizona in Tucson, and is now being operated by Dr. McMillan.

Recent observations of the Planetary nebula NGC 6302 shows evidence for carbonates in space, where aqueous alteration similar to that on Earth is unlikely.

The Blue Planetary was discovered by John Herschel and named for its color's similarity to Uranus, though the nebula is three times larger than the planet.

He spent most of his career as a professor of astronomy at Cornell University where he directed the Laboratory for Planetary Studies.

He became a full Professor at Cornell in 1971, and he directed the Laboratory for Planetary Studies there.

Once at a target, DS1 senses the particle environment with the PEPE ( Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration ) instrument.

Planetary engineering is the application of technology for the purpose of influencing the global properties of a planet.

He was the founding dean of the University of Miami School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences in 1964, and held several government positions, including deputy assistant administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, and chief scientist for the Department of Transportation.

Names successfully reviewed by a task group are submitted to the IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature ( WGPSN ).

In 1980, Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman founded the U. S. Planetary Society, partly as a vehicle for SETI studies.

Sagan also visualized making Mars habitable for human life in " Planetary Engineering on Mars " ( 1973 ), an article published in the journal Icarus.

In his book Terraforming: Engineering Planetary Environments ( 1995 ), Fogg proposed the following definitions for different aspects related to terraforming:

* Planetary engineering: the application of technology for the purpose of influencing the global properties of a planet.

In addition, a survey of nearby stars by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera was completed in 1999, including a search for faint companions to Tau Ceti ; none were discovered to limits of the telescope's resolving power.

By 1996, JPL was working on a full-fledged aerobot experiment named PAT, for " Planetary Aerobot Testbed ", which was intended to demonstrate a complete planetary aerobot through flights into Earth's atmosphere.

The Kuiper Prize, named in his honor, is the most distinguished award given by the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences, an international society of professional planetary scientists.

In 1985 Spielberg donated $ 100, 000 to the Planetary Society for Megachannel ExtraTerrestrial Assay.

CAiiA, Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts, first established by Roy Ascott in 1994 at the University of Wales, Newport, and later in 2003 as the Planetary Collegium, was the first doctoral and post doc research center to be established specifically for research in the interactive art field.

In 1985, the International Astronomical Union's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature honoured Frances Moore Brooke by naming a crater after her on the surface of the planet Venus.

The Planetary Society planned to raise another $ 4 million for Cosmos 2, a reimplementation of the experiment provisionally to be launched on a Soyuz resupply mission to the International Space Station.

In 1964, he became the first dean of the School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences at the University of Miami in 1964, the first school of its kind in the country, dedicated to space-age research.

NASA hosts its Planetary Data System Geosciences Node on the campus of Washington University.

Planetary precession ( actually an advance ) is due to the small angle between the gravitational force of the other planets on Earth and its orbital plane ( the ecliptic ), causing the plane of the ecliptic to shift slightly relative to inertial space.

" Cosmos 1 might boost its orbit 31 to 62 miles to 100 km over the expected 30-day life of the mission ," said Louis Friedman of the Planetary Society .< ref name = Deprecated-Original-Article >

Planetary formation can also be triggered by gravitational instability within the disk itself, which leads to its fragmentation into clumps.

After a postdoctoral year at Chicago, Patterson moved with Brown to the Division of Geology ( later the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences ) at the California Institute of Technology ( Caltech ) in 1952 as founding members of its geochemistry program.

Among its other homages to classic science fiction, an issue of Planetary involved the Planetary group finding that the Gun Club had been successful in launching the projectile, but that a miscalculation led to a slowly decaying orbit over the decades with the astronauts long dead from lack of air and food.

In Ptolemy's physical model, each planet is contained in two or more spheres, but in Book 2 of his Planetary Hypotheses Ptolemy depicted thick circular slices rather than spheres as in its Book 1.

The new Wide Field and Planetary Camera had a higher rating than the previous model, especially in the ultraviolet range, and included its own spherical aberration correction system.
