As Cassini reaches the end, we should prepare the next mission

...composition of the land masses – are they derived from basalt, the most common rock type in the solar system, or are they frozen ice and mud? Does Titan have a rocky core overlain directly by an icy mantle, or does it have an ocean below the surface? If so, is it made up of water? This all matters because what we have learnt about Titan from Cassini and Huygens has...

Exploring the icy moons

...composition is drastically changed. For example, Venus is currently a high-pressure hothouse, a kind of extreme extrapolation of climate change. But it could have been very different, possibly more Earth-like, billions of years ago. Studying Venus shows us what's possible and more than that, it shows us how that kind of change happens; how a big, complicated system like a...

Centrifugal casting

...iron pipes, bushes and cylinder liners are made using this technique. Complex-shaped components such as pulleys and gears have both internal and external surfaces shaped by the refractory mould and core. Composite components are formed by lining an outer shell with a cast alloy. White metal bearings are formed in this way. See Also: Rotational moulding and slip-casting....

...composition, (ii) sample properties, and (iii) high-resolution RS data of the same target. Measured spectral emissivity results are further used in remote sensing applications to constrain very high-temperature thermal anomalies (i.e. active lava flows with integrated pixel temperatures - close to or above 1000 K) and in melt mass flux investigations.

Deep oceans can help us understand our climate

...compositions of the fish teeth will identify main deep ocean water mass flow pathways. Therefore, studying the early-middle Eocene will provide an opportunity to assess our knowledge of deep ocean circulation during warmer climate states and provide further insight into how deep ocean circulation and AMOC may operate in a warmer climate in the future.
