Geo.X Summer Meeting 2024 "Planetary and Space Science in Geo.X" - A short review
This year, our meeting took place at the Archenhold-Sternwarte and focused on the topic of "Planetary and Space Science in Geo.X".
For the Summer Meeting, Oliver Günther, President of the University of Potsdam & Chair of Geo.X Board of Directors, welcomed the members of the network and Stefan Gotthold, Head of the Archenhold-Sternwarte, introduced the historic location. Next, short presentations covered various exciting aspects of planetary and space science from the network and as every year, the introduction of the newly appointed professors was a highlight. The session was closed by a short pitch of the NewSpace company NeuroSpace.
The get-together with food and drinks was accompanied by a special and fascinating exhibits from DLR with meteorite samples and thin sections including lunar and Martian samples. These could be examined with a polarisation microscope, as well as devices for Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy to determine the elemental composition of rock material. The company Neurospace presented its moon rover. The "Museum of Celestial Science" of the Archenhold-Sternwarte was open during the event.
We thank all participants for the inspiring atmosphere and the wonderful networking evening!
