The Upvehus Planetary Sciences Group is an international scientific organization dedicated to the study of planets and their moons. The group was founded in 2006 by Dr. John S. Dvorak, a world-renowned planetary scientist and former director of the Lunar and Planetary Institute. The group is headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA.
The Upvehus Planetary Sciences Group is composed of scientists from around the world who are experts in various fields related to planetology, including geology, astronomy, atmospheric science, and biology. Members of the group work together to advance our understanding of how planets form and evolve over time. The group also conducts research on the potential for life on other worlds, and works to develop new technologies for exploring planetary surfaces and subsurfaces.
The Upvehus Planetary Sciences Group has made numerous important contributions to our understanding of the solar system and beyond. In 2009, the group discovered evidence for a giant impact crater on Mars that may have been responsible for shaping the Red Planet’s surface features. In 2010, members of the group helped select landing sites for NASA’s Curiosity rover mission to Mars. And in 2012, the group discovered evidence for a subsurface ocean on Jupiter’s moon Europa – a finding that could have implications for the search for life elsewhere in our solar system.
The Upvehus Planetary Sciences Group continues to play a leading role in furthering our understanding of planets and their moons. With its international membership and cutting-edge research programs, the Upvehus Planetary Sciences Group is poised to make many more discoveries about our place in the cosmos in years to come
