 om the University of Southern California.\n\nTalk abstract: \n\nThe NASA P
 lanetary Science Division explores the objects in our solar system to bett
 er understand its history and explore the potential for life beyond Earth.
  This robust program explores the diversity of worlds beyond our own\, inc
 luding our nearest neighbors: Mars and Venus\, the giant outer planets and
  their icy moons\, and small bodies such as asteroids. Complex spacecraft\
 , rovers\, and even helicopters enable NASA and our partners around the gl
 obe to unlock the mysteries of our solar system. Among the exciting endeav
 ors to be discussed are the collection of samples from the surface of Mars
  to return to Earth\; intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid
  as a demonstration of planetary defense\; and exploring Jupiter’s moon Eu
 ropa and its ice-covered ocean. Learn about the successes to date\, upcomi
 ng missions\, and the next big challenges to tackle.\n
