Final Cross-Scale Yellow Book 2009

The Cross-Scale Yellow Book (12.6 MB) is the final, definitive form of both the science case and the technical solutions as reviewed by the ESA Advisory bodies in late 2009/early 2010. As noted on the News pages, that review was unsuccessful, but the Yellow Book will serve as a useful archive of the efforts of the Cross-Scale community, the Science Study Team, the Instrument Teams, and the Industrial Studies.

Mission Summary

A 3-page mission summary will be forwarded to ESA's Space Science Advisory Committee if/when the Solar System Working Group selects it as one of four to proceed. That summary is available at:

Cross-Scale Mission Summary (PDF 700 kB)

Submitted Proposal 27 June 2007
