Anyone who lives in the United States can join the annual Day of Action in Washington, D.C., on September 17 and 18, 2023. You will get access to an all-inclusive advocacy training, special briefings with policymakers, and scheduled meetings with your representatives in Congress to urge them to fund the future of space science and exploration. The deadline to register is September 5. Discounted hotel rooms are available until August 25. Reach out to Jack Kiraly (jack.kiraly@planetary.org) if you have questions, or check out the FAQ at: https://www.planetary.org/advocacy/day-of-action-frequently-asked-questions 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: MARS ATMOSPHERE AND VOLATILE EVOLUTION DATA RELEASE 34 The Planetary Data System (PDS) is pleased to announce the release of the following data from MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) Release 34, nominally with data to May 2023 - ANC (ancillary) - EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor) - IUVS (Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph) - KP (Insitu Key Parameters) - LPW (Langmuir Probe and Waves) - MAG (Magnetometer) - NGIMS (Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer) - ROSE (Radio Occultation Science Experiment) - SEP (Solar Energetic Particle) - SPICE - STATIC (Supra-Thermal and Thermal Ion Composition) - SWEA (Solar Wind Electron Analyzer) - SWIA (Solar Wind Ion Analyzer) No more data is expected from ACCEL (Accelerometer).

The course materials and exercises for the August workshop are freely available here: https://rgcps.asu.edu/gis-pdtw-2023-Aug/ Additional Workshops will be held at GSA-Pittsburg in October, Cornell University in February 2024, LPSC in March 2024, ASU in May and August of 2024. Stereo Photogrammetry Workshops focused on training for SOCET SET and Ames Stereo Pipeline will be held at the University of Arizona in September 2023 and April 2024. We are exploring doing more remote workshops in 2024. Please contact Dr. David Williams at David.Williams@asu.edu for more information. 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 PLANETARY MEETING CALENDAR ADDITIONS Note: Most face-to-face meetings going forward will have online components.

This field trip is especially suitable for educators (including K-12) and undergraduates and early graduate students who have previously lacked (much) planetary analog field geology exposure. Cost is $699 and registration is at: https://www.areslearning.com/astrogeology A steeply discounted block of hotel rooms is available at Holiday Inn Express El Paso North. We'll explore the Carrizozo lava flow, White Sands National Park, Aden Volcanic Crater and Kilbourne Hole Maar Crater, as well as a special tour of Spaceport America. Questions? Contact Dr. Kirby Runyon at kirby@planex.space. If you are in a financial position to and would like to sponsor a teacher - especially a K-12 teacher you know - please also get in touch with Kirby Runyon. *********************************************************************** * The Planetary Exploration Newsletter is issued approximately weekly. * Current and back issues are available at https://planetarynews.org * * To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change your email address, go to * https://planetarynews.org/pen_subscribe.php. * * Please send all replies and submissions to pen_editor@psi.edu. * Announcements and other messages should be brief with links to URLs * for extended information, including detailed descriptions for job * announcements.
