We present a new method of calculating model lightcurves for stellar occultations by the Jovian planets. We model the occulting planet as a three-dimensional body of non-zero ellipticity, and define two ellipses of intersection with the body which dictate the appearance of the lightcurve. These include the visible-limb plane ellipse, which is the observed figure of the body as seen in the sky, and the line-of-sight ellipse, which contains the line of sight to the occulted star, and is the plane in which the starlight is refracted. The observed stellar flux during the occultation is primarily dictated by the ellipticity and subsequent radius of curvature of the instantaneous ellipse in the line-of-sight plane. This new method is applied to several test cases, as well as to the Jovian occultation of HIP9369 on 10 October 1999. Lightcurves generated by this model are compared to identical situations using the method published in Hubbard et al. (1997), showing that the Hubbard model works well for low-latitude occultations, but fails at higher latitudes. In the case of the high-latitude Jovian occultation, the best-fit lightcurve, produced from this new method, yielded a half-light equatorial radius of 71,343±1.2 km with a scale height of 19.25±0.5km, and an isothermal temperature of 139K. The same data, fit using a lightcurve generated by the method described in Hubbard et al. (1997), resulted in a half-light equatorial radius of 71,819km with a scale height of 17.9km with errors comparable to the previous fit, resulting in an isothermal temperature of 129K. Lightcurves are numerically generated for an ellipsoidal planet and, for comparison, an approximation to the ellipsoidal case consisting of a sphere with radius equal to the radius of curvature of the ellipsoid at the half-light point. We find that in the case of an occultation where the line-of-sight ellipticity does not vary, that the radius of curvature approximation matches the ellipsoidal planet lightcurve to within 0.007%. For an oblique occultation however, the line-of-sight ellipticity varies, and the approximation, using only a single radius of curvature sphere, is only good to about 1%. As a result, we find that using a model such as that presented in Baum and Code (1953) to fit the lightcurve of an ellipsoidal planet can return values for half-light radius (after accounting for the distance between the center of curvature and the center of the body) which may match the local distance to the center of the ellipsoid to a fraction of a percent, while returning values of scale height which may be in error by several percent. Test cases are also then put through numerical inversions, to obtain temperature versus pressure profiles. Test cases with spherical planets return temperature profiles that match those used to create the lightcurves, while test cases with ellipsoidal planets return temperature profiles which can differ from the input temperatures by tens of degrees, assuming a constant local gravity over the course of the occultation.

In this thesis two separate projects are investigated, a stellar occultation by 2060 Chiron and rotationally resolved spectra of 1 Ceres. On 29 November 2011 UT, 2060 Chiron occulted a 14-mag star; data were successfully obtained at the 3-m IRTF on Mauna Kea and 2-m Faulkes North Telescope at Haleakala. The IRTF lightcurve shows a solid-body detection of Chiron's nucleus with a chord lasting 16.04 seconds, corresponding to a chord length of 158±14 km. Symmetric, dual extinction features in the Faulkes light curve indicate the presence of optically thick material roughly 300 km from the body midpoint. The duration of the features indicates a ~ 3 km feature separated by 10-14 km from a second - 7 km feature. The symmetry, optical thickness, and narrow size of these features allows for the intriguing possibility of a near-circular arc or shell of material. Rotationally resolved spectra of Ceres in the 0.43-0.85 micron range were observed using the DeVeny spectrograph on the Perkins 72-inch telescope at Lowell Observatory. Spectral differences as a function of phase were investigated. It is concluded that Ceres' surface is uniform at the 1% level at visible wavelengths. Additionally, the 0.6 and 0.67 pm features reported by Vilas and McFadden [1992] and Fornasier et al. [1999] are not seen at any phase at the 1% level.

Planetary exploration missions are becoming increasingly complex and expensive due to ever more ambitious scientific and technical goals. On the other hand, budgets in planetary science have suffered from dramatic cuts over the past decade and projections estimate a flat budget of approximately $1.2B/year for the upcoming years. This has led to a desire for a reduction in the risk and complexity, as well as an increase in the robustness and reliability, of planetary exploration vehicles. One of the methods proposed to deal with this issue is the use of distributed, multi-vehicle architectures as a replacement for the traditional large, monolithic systems used in flagship missions. However, mission concept formulation engineers do not possess the tools to include multi-vehicle architectures in their early trade space exploration process. This is mostly due to the fact that these types of architectures cannot be readily evaluated against monolithic systems through the use of traditional mass-based metrics. Furthermore, in multi-vehicle system, architectural decisions about one vehicle, such as instrument or capability selection, quickly propagate through the entire system and impose requirements on the other vehicles. This can be difficult to model without going through detailed point designs. The objective of this thesis is to explore the potential benefits of both spatially and temporally distributed multi-vehicle systems, where the vehicles are heterogeneous, as compared to monolithic systems. Specifically, a set of metrics mapping the effects of using multi-vehicle systems on science benefit, complexity, mass, cost, coverage, productivity and risk are developed. Furthermore, a software tool to simulate the performance of teams of planetary surface vehicles in their operational environment has been built and its use demonstrated. Finally, the framework put forward in this thesis is used to perform several case studies, including a case study on the exploration of the Jovian moon Europa and another on the ascent and return components of a Mars Sample Return mission. From these, distributed systems are shown to provide increased science return and robustness as well as lower development and manufacturing costs as compared to their monolithic equivalents.
