Green, Director, Planetary Science Division, NASA Headquarters The Discipline Scientists of the Planetary Science Division and I are always interested in improving the quality of the Division's Supporting Research and Technology (SR&T) programs. The scientific community plays an essential role in this by ensuring the quality of funded work through the generous donation of your time in reviewing proposals submitted to these programs by your colleagues and by serving on various advisory panels, MOWGs and program assessment groups. There is now another way for you to help: I invite you to participate in a survey on our SR&T Programs being conducted, at my request, by the Planetary Science Subcommittee. Please go to the following URL and give us your best thoughts. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/nasa_planetary_research Your responses to this survey will help the Division in the planning and management of these programs. This survey is scheduled to end on October 11, 2010 at 5 PM Eastern. The data and results (minus any of the requested personal information) will be published on our NASA HQ website (will announce the location in this and other community newsletters). Your participation in this survey is very much appreciated. *********************************************************************** * * The Planetary Exploration Newsletter is issued approximately weekly. * Current and back issues are available at * * http://planetarynews.org * * To subscribe, go to http://planetarynews.org/pen_subscribe.html * * To unsubscribe, go to http://planetarynews.org/pen_unsubscribe.html * * Please send all replies and submissions to pen_editor at psi.edu. * Announcements and other messages should be brief with links to URLs * for extended information, including detailed descriptions for job * announcements.
