I have led the development of the Planetary Ice Laboratory (« Icelab ») at the University of Bern (Physics Institute, Space and Planetary Science Division and NCCR PlanetS) since 2010. The main objectives of the projects are to:

• Create, collect and distribute a suite of well-characterized and reproducible analogues to Solar System planets, moons and small body icy surfaces.
• Measure their reflectance over the solar spectrum as a function of various parameters (wavelength, polarization, photometric angles) and its evolution in simulated planetary and space environments.
• Investigate different wavelength ranges and physico-chemical properties through collaborations by sharing samples with other groups and institutions.
• Use the experimental results to interpret measurements of planetary surfaces, either by direct comparison or through the testing and calibration of physical models.
• Distribute the experimental results and analysis tools in open-access databases.
• Test ideas and technologies for future remote-sensing and in-situ instrumentation, characterize components and support the calibration.

To do so, we operate a variety of devices and facilities, mostly developed and built by ourselves, to produce and characterize the samples and measure their reflectance:

• SPIPA-x: A suite of portable setups to produce different types of well calibrated icy samples.
• PHIRE-2: Radio-goniometer to measure the visible BRDF of cold samples.
• MoHIS: A mobile Vis-NIR spectral imager operated on various thermo-vacuum chambers.
• OCTOPUS: Optical Coherent Tomography to retrieve the 3D structure of cold samples.
• SCITEAS-2: Large simulation chamber to expose samples to low pressure and cold temperature.
• POLICES: Full-Stokes polarimeter in reflectance with variable illumination angle, cryogenic sample holder and controlled atmosphere.

External access to the laboratory and its facilities is possible through scientific collaboration with the Bernese team.

Our Vis BRDF data can be visualized and analyzed on DACE: https://dace.unige.ch

and the spectral data on ByPASS/SSHADE: https://www.sshade.eu/db/bypass
