In response to inquiries by the lunar community regarding certain lunar proposals, SSW and EW are both being amended to allow proposals using lunar samples, if they otherwise fall within scope of the program and successfully make the case for relevance. ROSES-2020 Amendment 3 changes the text of both C.2 Emerging Worlds and C.3 Solar System Workings to indicate that studies of lunar materials need not be restricted to active, ongoing processes to be in scope of SSW. For studies of the Moon, sample-based and experimental studies of the chemical, petrological, and isotopic properties of lunar materials might be relevant to Solar Systems Workings or Emerging Worlds, depending on what is proposed. Please refer to Sections 2.2 and 3.1.7 of C.2 Emerging Worlds and Sections 1 and 2.1 of C.3 Solar System Workings to understand the scopes of these two programs. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due dates remain unchanged. Step-1 proposals for C.2 Emerging Worlds are due April 3, 2020. http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2020 https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses- 2020/ Questions concerning C.2 Emerging Worlds: HQ-EMERGINGWORLDS@mail.nasa.gov Questions concerning C.3 Solar System Workings: hq-ssw@mail.nasa.gov 11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11 [NASA] EXTENDED CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR THE 71ST INTERNATIONAL ASTRONAUTICAL CONGRESS New deadline: March 5, 2020 NASA announces its intent to participate in the 71st International Astronautical Congress (IAC) and requests that full-time U.S. graduate students attending U.S. universities respond to this Call for Abstracts.

Groundbreaking discoveries of the Moon's low crustal porosity by the GRAIL mission are transformative and have profound implications for understanding the subsurface habitability of Mars, Early Earth and other planets. While the surface of Mars, Europa and Enceladus are widely considered to be uninhabitable, their subsurfaces are hypothesized to be the long-lived habitable environments. And we are learning more and more of the vast world of Life Underground on Earth from the diverse yet largely unexplored biology to the prospects of billion-year old groundwater. Microsymposium 61, Planets Underground, poses many exciting science questions and the technological challenges to acquire measurements relevant to these questions. The program will be a mix of invited and contributed papers and will convene on Saturday, March 14, 2030 (8:30 PM-6 PM). The Microsymposium will emphasize an open discussion format, anchored by invited overviews, contributed talks and posters.
