...so could I use the template they provide there, or is there a LPSC template for abstracts and pappers that I couldn't find at the lpsc website?

Actually, the templates for LPSC abstracts (or for that matter, any other LPI-sponsored conference) are pretty much the same, though I cannot say for certain that there aren't slight changes from year to year. If there are, however, I'm not aware of them. The 33rd LPSC web site

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2002/

should have the second announcement coming up within a few weeks, which I'm sure will also have the ABSTRACT SUBMISSION section, Instructions for Authors, Templates, Electronic Abstract Submission Form, etc.; this is the safest course to follow. I haven't examined the TES workshop template in detail, but since that particular conference is not LPI-sponsored, I would, to be on the safe side, look to another LPI-type conference in the interim. I've seen variations in conference proceedings enough to be wary of using older templates. That said, however, a representative example of authors' instructions, templates, etc., which *should* be valid, can be found at the website for the upcoming Martian Highlands Conference at:
