Opportunities for Astrophysical Science from the Inner and Outer Solar System
Abstract
Astrophysical measurements away from the 1 AU orbit of Earth can enable several astrophysical science cases that are challenging or impossible to perform from Earthbound platforms. In this White Paper, we describe the science motivations and advocate for flight opportunities to make these science investigations a reality.
