European Planetology NetworkEuropean Planetology Network


Origin of the project Origin of the project • Cassini/Huygens is a joint mission of ESA and NASA to the Saturn world and to

Titan, involving the two Agencies, industrials and over 200 scientists from the two sides of the Atlantic

• The European participants want to maximize the scientific return of the mission, and to take this opportunity to strengthen for the long term the European planetary science community

• With the EC support Europlanet seeks to :– Bring additional resources– Involve a broader community in the mission– Develop tools and collaborations for all other missionsall other missions


- FP6 “Structuring the ERA” - Research Infrastructures Action: Coordination Action

- Project duration: 48 months

- Budget: 2 M€

- Number of labs involved: 60

- Number of participants: 40

- 17 countries represented

The EC contribution will: - set-up the network

- stimulate exchanges and joint research activities

But not fund research internal to participants.
