What is Preface about?
The idea to organize the symposium "Modelling and Laboratory Studies Supporting Space Missions to Small Bodies" came up during the 32nd COSPAR Scientific Assembly in Nagoya in 1998. Taking into account the fact that an appreciable number of space missions to comets and asteroids are planned up to horizon 2020, there is an obvious need for laboratory studies and theoretical modeling in support to these missions. In deed, in view of the important financial and technical effort deployed during the planning, assembling, launch, cruise and data acquisition phase of such a mission, it is mandatory to make it a success and to get a maximum of data return. The papers published in this volume give are a sample of the papers presented during the symposium, Without being representative ofthe activity going on in this field, the papers present recent results and thus witness partially of the "state of the art", but they also show were progress is still needed. The most important number of papers concern the nucleus and the coma of the comets Wirtanen and Wild2, which are designated as targets for the ROSETTA and STARDUST missions. Papers concerned with convection in icy satellites, with dust a
