«As plans are underway in and outside of Japan to explore the satellite system of Jupiter and the satellites of Mars,» said Ohtsuki, «we will continue to unravel the origin of satellite systems, which is key to understanding the formation process of planetary systems.»

The Mars Exploration Program studies Mars as a planetary system in order to understand the formation and early evolution of Mars as a planet, the history of geological processes that have shaped Mars through time, the potential for Mars to have hosted life, and the future exploration of Mars by humans.

The belt contains essential information about the planetary formation processes, including both the «cold disk» that harbors the objects that are thought to formed in situ with the whole planetary system, and the «hot / scattered disk» that is the refuge of objects that are dynamically scattered into it during the dynamical evolution of the inner solar system.

Observations of the planets, satellites, and small bodies in the Solar system provide indispensable information about planet formation and evolution processes that remain unattainable for other planetary systems.

The superior sensitivity of the latest generation of ground - based instruments has allowed astronomers to discover a wealth of exoplanets (most of them in multi-planetary systems) around red dwarfs, while overturning our conventional notions and expectations regarding planetary formation and evolution processes around metal - poor stars.

ALMA studies all phases of planet forming: it probes protoplanetary discs — planetary embryos — at high resolution; it can capture the increasing brightness and temperature of planets in the process of formation and directly detect how giant planets cleanse their orbits within the discs.

Such braking is an important process because it assures a source of matter of relatively low angular momentum (by the standards of the interstellar medium) for the formation of stars and planetary systems.
