TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the science case for an orbital mission to Uranus with an atmospheric entry probe to sample the composition and atmospheric physics in Uranus' atmosphere, and discuss the technical challenges for such a mission.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Performance Clocks and Gravity Field Determination
Jürgen Müller,Dominic Dirkx,Sergei M. Kopeikin,Guillaume Lion,Isabelle Panet,Gérard Petit,Pieter Visser +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of high-precision atomic clocks on the realization of reference frames and time scales used in geodesy is discussed based on a fully relativistic description of the background gravitational physics.

High Performance Clocks and Gravity Field Determination
Jürgen Müller,Dominic Dirkx,Sergei M. Kopeikin,Guillaume Lion,Isabelle Panet,Gérard Petit,Pieter Visser +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of high-precision atomic clocks on the realization of reference frames and time scales used in geodesy is discussed, and the current definitions of basic geodetic concepts are discussed and it is concluded that the advances in clocks and other metrological technologies will soon require the re-definition of time scales or clarification to ensure their continuity and consistent use in practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of entry-vehicle shapes during conceptual design
Dominic Dirkx,Erwin Mooij +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the shape optimization of two classes of vehicles has been studied: a capsule and a winged vehicle, and their aerodynamic characteristics were analyzed using local-inclination methods, automatically selected per vehicle segment.
