NSRC is the premier conference for researchers and educators interested in commercial suborbital reusable vehicles. It provides in-depth NASA, FAA, flight provider and spaceport briefings, as well as extensive presentation and networking opportunities for researchers and educators, as well as companies involved with next-generation suborbital platforms, both robotic and those with human crews. Organized by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the Commercial Spaceflight Federation (CSF), NSRC-2023 will feature presentations, panel discussions, workshops, local aerospace company tours, poster presentations and extensive networking opportunities. The conference has over two dozen industry, academic, and agency sponsors. Sponsorship opportunities for the 2023 conference are still available. Please visit: https://nsrc.boulder.swri.edu/sponsorship-opportunities The three-day NSRC-2023 conference will include keynote and invited talks, individual flight provider workshops, and contributed talks by researchers and educators. It will also feature a reception for sponsors and VIPs. NSRC-2023 is soliciting abstracts through January 15, 2023. To submit an abstract for a contributed talk or poster, or to request exhibit space, visit the NSRC 2023 website at: https://nsrc.swri.org 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 EXMAG CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR 2023 MEMBERSHIP The Extraterrestrial Materials Analysis Group (ExMAG) is a community-based, interdisciplinary group providing a forum for discussion and analysis of matters concerning the collection, curation, and analysis of extraterrestrial samples. ExMAG is seeking applications for Secretary, Meeting Chair, Mars Subcommittee Chair, and Microparticle Subcommittee Chair. We also seek members for the Microparticle and Meteorite subcommittees and a social media coordinator. Applications are due December 16 for three-year appointments starting in January 2023. All applications will be normalized to career stage and ExMAG strives to include many voices. The full call, including position descriptions and application instructions, may be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CBJqxjQZIbAh3idhau8iO5c_yuM7U21ecEGH7Vsr6QE/ Questions may be directed to ExMAG.community@gmail.com. 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 TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN PLANETARY SCIENCE AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position to start in August 2023 in the general field of planetary science. The opening is targeted at the level of Assistant Professor, but experienced candidates with appropriate credentials will be considered for an Associate Professor appointment. Depending on the background and teaching interest, the successful candidate would also be affiliated with the appropriate academic department at CU. Areas of interest include: Research approaches from remote sensing, to instrument development, to space missions, to laboratory studies and to theory, addressing research targets both within our Solar System and exoplanets, and applying fields such as atmospheric science, planetary geology, astrobiology, geophysics, space environments, dynamics, etc. The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities. Evaluation of applications starts November 28, 2022. Position will remain open until filled.

EGU23 will be facilitating online and in-person participation in Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2023. The abstract deadline is 10 January 2023 (13:00 CET), and the deadline for support applications is 1 December 2022 (13:00 CET). Seismology is one of the most powerful tools to study the interior of planetary bodies and their tectonic regime. However, studying the seismicity of solid bodies other than Earth is technically challenging and the seismic data we currently have is sparse. In addition to mission-driven insights, modelling presents an increasingly powerful tool that can help to estimate the expected seismicity of different planetary bodies. This session aims to bring together planetary seismology studies on a range of planetary bodies to showcase the impressive successes that have been booked so far and to learn from each other for the future. We welcome contributions on the (anticipated) observations from space missions, such as InSight and Dragonfly, as well as theoretical estimates and modelling efforts on the seismicity of planetary bodies. We also encourage technical contributions on methods to detect seismicity on planetary bodies.

We are particularly interested in candidates focused on the formation, structure, interior and atmosphere evolution of terrestrial-type planets, both within the Solar System and exoplanets. We envision the candidate to become an emerging expert in the next generation of global planet evolution models, and one who can facilitate incorporation of the most relevant improved microphysics and microphysical data into computational planetary modeling tools for practical use by the broader planetary astrophysics community. CMAP is a collaboration between U. Rochester, Princeton, UC Davis, MIT, U. Buffalo, and UC Berkeley; team members communicate weekly. For this position, the institution at which the candidate takes primary residence is negotiable. We expect the candidate to interact broadly with the CMAP team. Some travel among the partner universities required. Candidates should have a Ph.D. by the start date (September 2023, negotiable) in planetary physics, astrophysics, or related disciplines. Send application package: CV, a statement of research interests, and 3 letters of recommendation to natalie.antal@rochester.edu. 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 PLANETARY MEETING CALENDAR ADDITIONS Note: Most face-to-face meetings going forward will have online components.
