Despite these areas for improvement, the methodological chain that is presented in the present section already yields radiative properties with a fair level of accuracy for standard culture conditions, when the shape of the microorganism is accurately described (see vaHdation in Charon et al., 2015 Dauchet et al., 2015), including all the spectral and angular data that are needed for formulation of radiative transfer within a photobioreactor.

All planets from Mercury to Neptune and most of their satellites have been observed from Earth-based telescopes and at least once, some repeatedly, from spacecraft. Therefore, sufficient information was available to emphasize the physical principles in the discussions in Chapter 6. Trans-Neptunian objects and asteroids have been explored to a much lesser degree. Their small sizes, for many their large heliocentric distances, and their low surface temperatures prevented detailed exploration. Until recently, only a few samples of an enormous amount of objects have been investigated. Therefore, the treatment of these objects, grouped in this chapter, is primarily a summary of presently known properties. Section 7.1 discusses Pluto and its satellite Charon Section 7.2 is devoted to comets and Section 7.3 to asteroids.
