Voyager and the outer planets: Combination of Mathematics, Physics, Computing, Data Science and Engineering
Presented by the Nelson Mandela University
This is a talk about the outer planets, the Voyager spacecraft mission from the seventies and eighties, and how the mission transformed our understanding of the outer planets in our solar system. It will demonstrate, at a fundamental level, how basic sciences such as mathematics and physics proved to be vital for the mission, and the interplay of these basic sciences with data science and engineering.
