The course is intended as an introduction to planetary science as a field of study. A basic understanding of all Solar System bodies will be provided, as well as an introduction to the missions, instruments, and tools that have been used to explore them. The vision for the designed course is to excite the students about exploration of the Solar System, and encourage them to learn more about either one particular body (ex. Mars, Venus, etc.) or one particular way of studying planets (ex. spectroscopy, mapping, etc). This course could be a direct lead in to either EN.615.663 Physics in Lunar Exploration or EN.615.664 Introduction to Exoplanets.
