Work solicited by this program element is to enhance, augment, or complement planned mission activities during the sample-analysis phase of the mission. On December 17, 2021 the text for C.30 ORSA-PSP was released but the due dates were TBD. The due dates for proposals have now been set. Step-1 proposals are due February 28, 2022 and Step-2 proposals are due April 26, 2022. All of the critical supporting documents are available for download on the NSPIRES page for this program element: https://tinyurl.com/yckuu8sm This Amendment will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at: https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2021 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2021/ Questions concerning C.30 ORSA-PSP may be directed to Jeffrey N. Grossman at HQ-OREXPSP@mail.nasa.gov. 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 [NASA] ROSES-21: APPENDED PLANETARY MAJOR EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES PROPOSALS ARE PERMITTED THROUGH THE END OF ROSES-2021 Program element C.17 Planetary Major Equipment and Facilities (PMEF) Program allows proposers to participating programs supported by the Planetary Science Division to append a request to acquire or develop instrumentation to support the PI's research. See the NSPIRES page for this program element: https://tinyurl.com/36er5edy ROSES-2021 Amendment 65 announces that appended Planetary Major Equipment and Facilities (PMEF) are permitted through the end of ROSES-2021 to permit those who still plan to submit proposals (e.g., to a NoDD program) the opportunity to include an appended PMEF proposal for investigator instruments only. No stand-alone PMEF proposals are solicited. Those who would have appended a request for an investigator instrument to their proposal but were not able to do so (those submitted since Amendment 42 on November 4, 2021) may contact aaron.burton@nasa.gov. This Amendment will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at: https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2021 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2021/ Questions concerning C.17 PMEF or this amendment may be directed to Aaron Burton at aaron.burton@nasa.gov. 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 [NASA] PDS: MRO CRISM MTRDR AND TER RELEASE 19 PDS announces Release 19 of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter CRISM Targeted Empirical Data Record (TER) and Map-projected Targeted Reduced Data Record (MTRDR) products, at: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/mro/crism.htm This release fills in data from February 9, 2010, through December 24, 2011. TER products are image cubes derived from CRISM hyperspectral targeted observations, post-processed to standardize the illumination and observation geometry and remove atmospheric gas absorptions and instrument artifacts. MTRDRs are the same products map-projected using terrain models of the Martian surface.

B5.1: Ocean Worlds session description: The exploration of ocean worlds in the outer Solar System has significantly expanded our set of targets in the quest to discover signs of life beyond Earth in the past decade and will continue to be in the ones to come. We invite contributions that cover a wide range of topics focusing on confirmed or potential subsurface (including surficial in the case of Titan's lakes) ocean worlds of our Solar System. The topics can include studies on the geomorphology and composition of ocean worlds, geophysics and ocean properties, as well as laboratory investigations and field work of analogue environments. Furthermore, studies that examine interactions between planetary interiors, surfaces, atmospheres, and astrobiology/habitability are welcomed. https://www.cospar-assembly.org/admin/session_cospar.php?session=1018 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 MEPAG VM14 - 2ND INFORMATION CIRCULAR The next virtual meeting (VM14) of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) is scheduled for February 2-3, 2022, 1-5 pm ET (same time block for both days). Meeting agenda and WebEx connectivity information (including how to enable closed-captioning support): https://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/meetings.cfm Before VM14 please do this "homework" in preparation for discussions on MEPAG plans and future program activities. Community activities such as MASWG, the upcoming Low-Cost Mars Missions Workshop, and the forthcoming Decadal Survey report will provide guidance for Mars exploration. It's important that everyone has the opportunity to provide input during this planning process. Please come with your ideas that will augment these community efforts: - Is there something you think is missing from existing discussions/reports? - What science theme brought forward by the community is most important, and what step(s) are necessary to best advance the science? - Do you have a different mission "arc" in mind than the examples in the MASWG report? - Is there a vision of "What is next?" you would like to communicate? This meeting is open to all members of the Mars science community including our international colleagues.
