Goals of the Course(JPN)
授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course
In this course students will learn about the characteristics of the planets and other components of our solar system (e.g., orbital parameters, atmospheric conditions, surface features and processes, geological activity, internal structure and composition). We will use the knowledge of our own planet Earth as a reference to understand processes taking place elsewhere. During the past fifty years, various spacecrafts and exploration devices have been used to acquire information on our solar system, sending back to Earth ever more detailed images of distant worlds and considerably expanding our knowledge of these far-away places. The course will review the different means of space exploration, and use abundant data acquired by past and ongoing missions to illustrate the characteristics of the planets and moons of our solar system. A recurrent topic throughout the course will be the search for extraterrestrial life. We will also discuss the future of space exploration.

Students should acquire a good understanding of the course content to be able to answer the questions of the quizzes. Students are also required to complete the course assignments, including writing a review paper on a subject of their choice related to the course content, and therefore need to search for information related to this subject and to summarize that information in a clear, organized, and concise manner. Preparation time is also needed for the final short presentation that each student gives at the end of the semester about the subject of their review paper.
