PIERAZZO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT TRAVEL AWARD APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

Each year, subject to receiving qualified applications, PSI bestows two
awards:

The first award supports a U.S.-based Ph.D. student to attend a
planetary science-related conference or workshop located outside the
U.S.

The second award facilitates a non-U.S.-based Ph.D. student to attend a
planetary science-related conference within the U.S. Eligible events
include planetary-focused sessions at general meetings like AGU, GSA,
EGU, and IAG. The event should be open to general participation by the
planetary community.

Each award offers a certificate and up to $2,000 in travel support, to
be presented by a PSI representative at a scientific conference or
meeting. We believe these awards can foster international collaboration
and broaden the horizons of aspiring planetary scientists.

For more information, go to:

https://www.psi.edu/pierazzo-award/

Applications close 9 PM MST, December 2, 2024 for meetings occurring in
calendar 2025. Late applications will not be accepted. Award winners
will be announced on or before December 15.

NEOWISE 2024 DATA RELEASE

The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) and
IPAC at the California Institute of Technology announce the NEOWISE
Final Data Release.

The Final Release includes data acquired during the eleventh year of
the NEOWISE Reactivation mission (Mainzer et al. 2014, ApJ, 792, 30),
13 December 2023 to 1 August 2024. These data are combined with those
from years 1-10 into a single archive that contains ~26.9 million sets
of 3.4 and 4.6 micron images and a database of ~199 billion source
detections.

NEOWISE scanned the sky ~21 times during 10.6 years of survey
operations, with approximately six months between survey passes. With
twelve or more independent exposures made on each sky position during
each epoch, the NEOWISE archive is a time-domain resource for
extracting multiple, independent thermal flux and position measurements
of Solar System small bodies and background galactic and extragalactic
sources.

A guide to the NEOWISE data release, data access instructions, and
supporting documentation is available at:

https://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/neowise/

NEOWISE is a joint project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California
Institute of Technology and UCLA, funded by the NASA Planetary Science
Division.

SUBMIT A PLANETARY SESSION TO THE 2025 GSA CONNECTS ANNUAL MEETING

19-22 October 2025 in San Antonio, Texas

https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2025

Planetary science will take center stage at the 2025 meeting as one of
its three main themes:

From Earth to the Cosmos: Geoscience Beyond Our Planet

This theme invites exploration of planetary geoscience in its full
scope, bridging terrestrial geology with the study of solid, icy, and
gaseous bodies across the Solar System and extending to exoplanets.
Planetary science covers impacts, volcanism and tectonism,
atmospheric, sedimentary, and hydrologic processes, regolith
formation, potential biosignatures and habitability. New frontiers
include materials for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), such as ice
and critical minerals, which are crucial for supporting future human
habitation on other worlds. Through this expanded lens, geoscientists
can explore not only Earth's unique attributes but also the geological
and material diversity across our Solar System, contributing to
advancements in both science of planetary environments and commercial
space exploration.

GSA also welcomes proposals for field trips and short courses.

[NASA] SMD: F.10 PAYLOADS AND RESEARCH INVESTIGATIONS ON THE SURFACE OF
THE MOON DEFERRED TO ROSES-25

When it is solicited, F.10 Payloads and Research Investigations on the
Surface of the Moon (PRISM) solicits proposals for investigations that
include development and flight of science-driven suites of instruments
to be delivered to specific sites on the lunar surface by the
Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS).

ROSES-2024 Amendment 66 announces that F.10 PRISM is no longer
solicited in ROSES-2024. We anticipate that it will be solicited in
ROSES-2025.

The other PRISM program element in ROSES-2024 is the Stand-Alone
Landing Site-Agnostic version, program element F.11.

Questions concerning F.10 PRISM may be directed to Debra Needham and
Brad Bailey via HQ-PRISM@mail.nasa.gov.

[NASA] SMD: F.12 ARTEMIS IV DEPLOYED INSTRUMENTS PROGRAM FINAL TEXT AND
DUE DATES

Step-1 proposals are due December 17, 2024
Step-2 proposals are due February 14, 2025.

Program Website:

https://tinyurl.com/mv8z68jc

F.12 Artemis IV Deployed Instruments Program solicits proposals for
instruments to be deployed on the surface of the Moon during the second
crewed lunar south polar landing.

Deployed instruments will consist of autonomous instrument packages
installed on the lunar surface by astronauts during extravehicular
activities. These science packages will enable a variety of scientific
investigations.

Proposed deployed instruments must address one or more of the following
identified scientific objectives from NASA's Moon to Mars (M2M)
Objectives Document. The identified objectives for this call are LPS-1,
LPS-2, LPS-3, HBS-1, HBS-3, HS-1, HS-2, HS-3, HS-4, PPS-1, and PPS-2.
Though instruments proposed to this solicitation may address any of
these identified M2M objectives, deployed instruments that accomplish
higher priority science objectives as identified in the Artemis III
Science Definition Team (SDT) report may be considered more favorably.

A pre-proposal conference will occur Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at
1:00 PM Eastern Time, see Section 3.6 for connect information.

Questions concerning F.12 Artemis IV Deployed Instruments Program may
be directed to hq-artemisinstruments@mail.nasa.gov.
