Planetary scientists work to improve our understanding of the planets, satellites and smaller bodies in the solar system through:
  • Studying the atmospheres, surfaces and interiors of planets,
  • Understanding the origins of planets and the physical processes at work, and
  • Using radar to determine the physical characteristics of asteroids and to search for asteroids that may pose a hazard to Earth.
