The New Horizons spacecraft fly-through of the Pluto system in July 2015 will provide humanity’s first data for the crater populations on Pluto and its binary companion, Charon. In principle, these surfaces could be dated in an absolute sense, using the observed surface crater density (# craters/km2 larger than some threshold crater diameter D). Success, however, requires an understanding of both...
Canada’s Near-Earth Object Surveillance Satellite (NEOSSat), set to launch in early 2012, will search for and track Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), tuning its search to best detect objects with a<1.0AU. In order to construct an optimal pointing strategy for NEOSSat, we needed more detailed information in the a<1.0AU region than the best current model (Bottke, W.F., Morbidelli, A., Jedicke, R., Petit,...
