PLANETARY EXPLORATION NEWSLETTER - SPECIAL EDITION Volume 7, Number 48 (October 9, 2013) PEN Website: http://planetarynews.org Editor: Mark V. Sykes Co-Editors: Melissa Lane, Susan Benecchi Email: pen_editor at psi.edu o---------------------------SPECIAL EDITION---------------------------o NASA CORRECTION - PMDAP DUE DATE NOT DEFINED In the previous announcement from NASA, it was stated that "When the government resumes business, proposals [to the Planetary Mission Data Analysis Program (PMDAP)] will be due three working days after the shutdown ends." This continues to be correct for the Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP), but it was applied to PMDAP in error. The PMDAP deadline will be set at a reasonable time once government operations resume.
