TL;DR: The New Horizons encounter revealed that Pluto displays a surprisingly wide variety of geological landforms, including those resulting from glaciological and surface-atmosphere interactions as well as impact, tectonic, possible cryovolcanic, and mass-wasting processes.

TL;DR: The Mars-Moon Exploration, Reconnaissance and Landed Investigation (MERLIN) mission as mentioned in this paper was designed to obtain in situ measurements from Deimos to test models for the moon's origin.
WITTEX: A Constellation of Three Small Satellite Radar Altimeters
TL;DR: WITTEX as discussed by the authors consists of three co-planar small satellite radar altimeters launched on the same vehicle into a GEOSAT-class orbit, which can support measurement of both orthogonal components of the ocean's surface slope, rather than the single component seen by conventional instruments.
