About the Author
Murthy Gudipati is a Principal Scientist in the Planetary Ice Group, Science Division, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Gudipati's research interests can be broadly defined as understanding the physics and chemistry of interstellar and Solar System ices through laboratory simulations, observations, and instrumentation or simply evolution of ices in the universe. The three wings of this space endeavor are physics and chemistry of ices with applications to biology, chemistry, atmosphere, and astrophysics; space instrumentation to analyze organic matter on planets such as Mars, Europa, Titan, and Enceladus; and observations and analysis of in-situ and remote data. Gudipati's research in the recent past has focused on physics and chemistry of cryogenic ices. This research builds on the over 15 years of earlier expertise on chemical physics / physical chemistry, spectroscopy, and photochemistry of atmospheric and organic molecules in cryogenic matrices.
Julie Castillo-Rogez is a planetary scientist in the Planetary Ices Group, Science Division, of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. Her main interest lies in material physics, applied to the modeling of icy satellite and asteroid geophysical evolution and the design and planning of future spaceborne and in situ observations of these objects. Castillo-Rogex is involved hands-on in the measurements of the mechanical properties of ice in JPL's Ice Physics Laboratory, which she co-founded. She is a consultant for the definition and design of frozen astromaterial simultants, simulation chambers, and instrument testbeds. Her technical publications for the past ten years cover a variety of topics ranging from the geophysics and dynamics of icy satellites to the astrobiology of asteroids and the development of strategies to explore these objects with small spacecrafts.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
