Activity N3 Co-ordinated space/earth-based
observations Developing synergies between in-situ
exploration of the planetary systems and
telescope observations from the ground or Earth
orbit.
Activity N4 Developing an outreach
strategy Developing a pan-European outreach plan
that will help to associate the European Citizens
to the Planetary Exploration program activities
in Europe (incl. space agencies, research
institutes, Universities and science museums).
Activity N7 Design and development of the
IDIS Creation of an Integrated and Distributed
Information Service (IDIS) and its further
evolution into a European Virtual Planetary
Observatory.
Activity N5 Personnel exchange Supporting key
exchanges of personnel between research groups
with the aim to establish a long-term working
relation between the groups.
Activity N6 Meetings, conferences Organisation
of EuroPlaNet meetings during the project.

N3 Coordination of Ground-based and Space
Observations
N3 Approach
Activity work program is based on the steps
Identify key programs and
observations Identify key
facilities Identify key organizations

N3 Coordination of Ground-based and Space
Observations
N3 Scientific Focus Points
Space Mission complementary observations
Ground-based observations of potential
targets that are, will, or have been observed by
spacecraft instruments, with the aim
to complement (wavelength, time, geometry) the
scientific results.
Space Mission supporting observations Assist
in the preparation or in the operational stage of
a planetary mission (engineering as well as
scientific aspects of the mission). Examples
Titan atmosphere observations prior to the
Huygens descent, comet observations for Rosetta
mission, etc.

N3 Coordination of Ground-based and Space
Observations
N3 Participant Institutes
16 participating institutions - 2 lead
participants - 14 regular members - new
members can join
(e.g. DLR, Berlin H. Rauer, etc.)
The list of participants may be
changed in course of the project to
enhance international collaborations

Cooperation/Interaction of Europlanet N3 with
CoRoT

• What can Europlanet provide to the
  mission
• Support in the organization and funding of
  dedicated meetings and workshops
• Support in organization of coordinated
  observations
• Telecons, provide Email distribution lists for
  specific,
• announcments news, public ourtreach, etc.
• Provide the Europlanet N3 website as a platform
  for exchange of information / documents / call
  for observations, links, etc. ? information
  platform for planetary scientists
