Dr. Farrell is a space plasma physicist specializing in the electrodynamics found in planetary atmospheres, magnetospheres, and on primitive bodies. He is a scientific co-investigator on the Cassini mission to Saturn, the Wind spacecraft in the solar wind, and a Participating Scientist on Mars Express MARSIS radar instrument. As an experimentalist, his lab team has built science systems for 8 sub-orbital and space flight missions. His lunar research includes the dynamic interaction of solar charged particles and radiation with the surface – affecting volatiles release and collection, surface charging, dust transport, the exo-ionosphere, and polar exploration.

Dr. Killen is a planetary scientist specializing in studies of the exospheres of Mercury and the Moon. She has observed Mercury, the Moon and the Galilean satellites at the McMath-Pierce solar telescope, the W.M. Keck Telescope, The IRTF and at the Anglo-Australian Observatory. She has modeled the exospheres of Mercury and the Moon, and performed radiative transfer calculations for optically thick atmospheres. She is interested in the physics of space weathering and the interactions of the solar wind plasma with the surfaces of planets and satellites.
