The critical technologies needed to fly these missions, most of which have been analysed in depth during the Lausanne workshop, can be classified into six generic themes.

6 generic themes

1. Exploration platforms of the future
2. Platforms subsystems and enabling technologies
3. Reaching out to challenging destinations
4. New sensors and new sensor technologies for an expanding spectrum of science themes and disciplines
5. Meet the challenges of sample return
6. Disruptive technologies
