The first Planetary Exploration Newsletter was sent out on May 24, 2007 as a service to the community by the Planetary Science Institute. Since that day, we have published 852 issues covering planetary related meeting announcements, jobs, proposal solicitations, upcoming events, government policy announcements, memorials, and commercial announcements. Thanks to our volunteer editors from over the years: 2007-Present, Mark V. Sykes 2019-Present, Georgiana Kramer 2021-Present, Alex Morgan 2017-2021, Elisabeth Adams 2016-2019, Karen Stockstill-Cahill 2010-2017, Susan Benecchi 2009-2016, Melissa Lane 2007-2010, Nic Richmond 2007-2009, Matt Balme It's been a lot of weekends! 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 GSA SESSION T99: THE INTERPLAY OF VOLCANISM, TECTONISM, AND IMPACTS ACROSS THE SOLAR SYSTEM Volcanism and tectonism are two of the major processes responsible for shaping the surfaces of terrestrial planets, main-belt asteroids, and icy satellites alike. In addition to the interaction between these two processes, large impacts can have a significant effect on how volcanism and tectonism are expressed. We solicit a variety of contributed presentations including those focused on observational, laboratory, theoretical, or analog research into any aspect of planetary volcanic and tectonic activity, including that moderated by the impact process or its resultant landforms. The deadline for abstract submission is July 19, 2022. The GSA 2022 hybrid meeting is scheduled for October 9-12 with the in-person component hosted in Denver, CO. Additional information about the GSA Connects Annual Meeting and the abstract submission portal can be found at: https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2022/home Please direct questions to the session conveners: Mallory Kinczyk (mallory.kinczyk@jhuapl.edu) or Kelsey Crane (kelseycrane@geosci.msstate.edu). 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] ROSES-22 AMENDMENT 18: FINAL TEXT AND DUE DATES FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY CONSORTIA FOR ASTROBIOLOGY RESEARCH A wide array of NASA Science Mission Directorate flight missions incorporate astrobiology goals and objectives. For this reason, with C.20 Interdisciplinary Consortia for Astrobiology Research (ICAR) solicits proposals responding to both the long-term goals and objectives identified in the Astrobiology Strategy: https://tinyurl.com/4smbcses This is focused on ensuring that the NASA Astrobiology community is prepared to respond to the challenge of planning and implementing these missions. Accordingly, proposals that place emphasis on research that will help prepare for current or future flight programs directed at astrobiological targets are encouraged. Proposals must describe an interdisciplinary approach to a single compelling question in astrobiology, and address at least one aspect of the current Science Strategy. Step-1 proposals are due September 15, 2022, and Step-2 proposals are due January 10, 2023. Go to: http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022 Questions concerning C.20 ICAR may be directed to Mary Voytek at Mary.A.Voytek@nasa.gov [Edited for length] 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 [NASA] ROSES-22 AMENDMENT 19: MARTIAN MOONS EXPLORATION MISSION PARTICIPATING SCIENTIST PROGRAM FINAL TEXT AND DUE DATES The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission Participating Scientist Program (MMX-PSP) will support scientists at U.S. institutions to participate on the MMX mission, which the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is developing for launch in 2024. ROSES-2022 program element C.24 MMX-PSP solicits proposals for science investigations to be carried out during the primary flight and post-flight phases that significantly enhance the overall knowledge obtained from the MMX mission and that address outstanding questions directly related to mission objectives. Two categories of investigations are solicited in this call: Instrument Science and Sample Science. This amendment releases final text and due dates for MMX-PSP, which was previously listed as TBD. Mandatory NOIs are due June 16, 2022, and proposals are due August 16, 2022. Go to: http://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022 Questions concerning MMX-PSP may be directed to Thomas S. Statler at thomas.s.statler@nasa.gov. 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 [NASA] ROSES-22 AMENDMENT 20: SPACE WEATHER CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE FINAL TEXT AND DUE DATES This amendment releases final text and announces due dates for Space Weather Centers of Excellence (SWxC), program element B.22 of ROSES-22, which had been previously released as draft for community comment. The changes between draft and final will be summarized in a FAQ downloadable under "Other documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element. B.22 Space Weather Centers of Excellence (SWxC) solicits proposals for multi-institution, multi-/inter-/trans- disciplinary collaborations (Centers) that address grand challenge goals of space weather that are ambitious in scope and transformative in nature as part of an integrated multi-agency initiative to advance the science and technology of space weather. This program is intended to support research that cannot be effectively done by individual investigators or small teams, instead requiring the synergistic, coordinated efforts of a research center. Step-1 proposals are due June 21, 2022, and 25-page Step-2 proposals are due August 25, 2022. Comments and questions concerning B.22 SWxC may be to Jesse Woodroffe at jesse.r.woodroffe@nasa.gov.
