Penetrometry in the Solar System

This book emerged from the International Workshop of Penetrometry in the Solar System organised by the Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The meeting of scientists working in the fields of planetary research and others engaged in glaciology gave a rather interdisciplinary character to the workshop. The book may serve as an up-to-date reference, giving an overview of the state of art in the field and possible future applications of penetrometry, both in planetary missions and for terrestrial field research.
