In the past 50 years, our understanding of the origin and evolution
of the Solar System has grown exponentially, in large part due to
the availability of meteorites and the success of sample return
missions. This book contains fourteen papers, each led by a team of
expert scientists, which review our present understanding of Solar
System formation and evolution through sample analysis.The chapters
are structured around three main themes: (i) initial conditions and
workings of the Solar System; (ii) planetary habitats; and (iii)
sample curation. Through these themes, the volume presents the
outstanding scientific questions to be addressed through future
missions, identifies specific target bodies to be studied, and
evaluates relevant sample curation facilities. In all, the book is
intended to assist in formulating a viable strategy for planning
future sample return missions.Previously published in Space Science
