Laboratory Architecture as an Infrastructural Capability to Increase the Science Returned by Ocean World Missions
We recommend funding laboratory efforts directly tied to relevant Ocean World mission payloads, but separate from mission funds, to ensure the appropriate laboratory capabilities are efficiently developed and measurements executed. We also recommend requiring explicit collaborations and increased coordination between similar facilities.
