Hello everyone, thank you for joining the Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy Seminar Series. We are grateful to Springer for allowing us to restart this series through a new agreement with CASIL. Today, we have two young speakers: Yuji Takubo from Stanford University and B Parker. Yuji, a PhD student at Stanford's Space Rendezvous Laboratory, will be presenting his work on automated tour design in the Saturnian System, in collaboration with Damon Landau and Brian Anderson from NASA JPL.

Yuji graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Aerospace Engineering and previously interned at NASA JPL, working on tour designs of the Saturnian and Jovian systems. His presentation will focus on reaching the icy moon Enceladus in the Saturnian System.

Saturn, with over 100 moons including Titan, Rhea, Dione, Tethys, and Enceladus, has sparked significant scientific interest. Despite this, only four spacecraft have visited Saturn or its moons, with Cassini being a notable mission. Currently, NASA is developing the Dragonfly mission to explore Titan for signs of life.

While Titan is a major focus, Enceladus is also a significant astrobiological target in the Saturnian System. Yuji will discuss mission design strategies to reach Enceladus and the importance of exploring this moon. Thank you for your attention.
