ROSES-2022 Amendment 62 announces that Lunar Terrain Vehicle Instruments Program (F.13 LTV) which had been listed as "TBD" will not be solicited in ROSES-2022. Instead, it will be solicited in ROSES-2023, to be released in February 2023. This Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022" (NNH22ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at: https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2022/ Questions regarding F.13 LTV may be directed to Debra Needham at debra.m.hurwitz@nasa.gov and Brad Bailey at brad.bailey@nasa.gov.

This award is established by the Planetary Science Institute in memory of Senior Scientist Betty Pierazzo to support and encourage graduate students to build international collaborations and relationships in planetary science. Two awards will be made each year, contingent upon there being meritorious applications. One will be awarded to a graduate student working on his or her Ph.D. at an institution within the U.S. This is to support travel to a planetary science related meeting (conferences and workshops) outside of the U.S. The second award will be to a graduate student working on his or her Ph.D. at an institution outside of the U.S. This is to support travel to a planetary science related meeting within the U.S. These include general meetings that have planetary-focused sessions such as the AGU, GSA, EGU and IAG. The award will consist of a certificate and up to $2000US. Additional information and application materials are available at: https://www.psi.edu/pista 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] PDS: OSIRIS-REX OVIRS RELEASE This release of OSIRIS-REx OVIRS data includes all the raw and calibrated data through the end of the Bennu encounter. These data are available at: https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/subscription-service/SS-20221024.shtml or more directly at: https://sbn.psi.edu/pds/resource/orex/ovirs.certified.html To access all data archived in PDS: https://pds.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 EUROPA OBSERVERS GROUP The Europa Clipper Project is bringing together a group of ground and space-based observers of Europa, with the goal of enhancing the scientific return of the Europa Clipper mission. The purpose of the group is to provide temporal coverage and context for measurements, additional wavelengths and geometries, monitoring, follow-up, and advocacy to TACs. The Europa Clipper Project will host a workshop once or twice a year in conjunction with a major conference, with the first one tentatively set for DPS 2023. Observers are expected to fund their own activities. If you are interested in being on the mailing list, please contact Bonnie Buratti, Europa Clipper JPL Deputy Project Scientist, (bonnie.buratti@jpl.nasa.gov), with a one sentence summary describing your expected contribution. 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 INCLUSION PLAN BEST PRACTICES WORKSHOP NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is happy to announce the first virtual Inclusion Plan Best Practices Workshop, scheduled for November 1-2, 2022, 1:00-3:00 p.m. Eastern Time each day. For more information see: https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/inclusionplan2022/ The workshop will be recorded and posted on the SARA website. Many programs within NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) are now requiring that proposals contain an inclusion plan that outlines how the team will work against barriers to create and sustain inclusive work environments. SMD is hosting an Inclusion Plan Best Practices Workshop to provide proposers with some background and tools needed to be active participants in creating and maintaining inclusive work environments. This workshop is open to any member of the science community and may be of particular interest to those writing ROSES or mission proposals requiring inclusion plans. Questions may be directed to ryan.n.watkins@nasa.gov 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 GALILEAN MOONS WORKSHOP The Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons is scheduled for October 24-26, 2023, at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille, Technopole de Marseille-Etoile, France. The three-day in-person workshop will be co-chaired by Olivier Mousis, Kathy Mandt and Morgan Cable. Further information can be found here: https://galileanmoons.com The goal of this workshop is to prepare for the arrival of the ESA/JUICE and NASA/Europa-Clipper missions in the Jovian system. In particular, the link between the composition of the moons and the formation conditions of giant planets systems, as well as their potential habitability, as evidenced by measurement techniques, instrumentation, laboratory experiments, and future mission concepts in the framework of international collaborations, are of high interest. Presenters will be encouraged to submit their works to a special issue of a dedicated journal. In-person attendance will be limited to ninety people; limited opportunity for virtual participation is planned. Some support for in-person attendance may also be available for students and early-career researchers. The organizers will monitor the COVID situation, and the workshop format, including virtual participation, will be adjusted as necessary. 8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8 2023 TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE FOR FUTURE NASA PLANETARY SCIENCE MISSIONS On January 9-11, 2023, NASA^s Science Mission Directorate is sponsoring a Technology Showcase - focused this year on planetary science - to foster discussions about new technologies that may substantially improve future missions the science community has identified. The Showcase will take place in Galveston, TX. Abstracts describing future missions (from SIMPLEx to New Frontiers scope) are still being accepted and will be posted on the event website. Abstracts are two pages and should cover mission basics (Overview, Operations, Instruments, Science Objectives, needed technologies with current TRL, etc.) MEPAG community abstracts should be submitted to Jonathan Bapst via email at jonathan.bapst@jpl.nasa.gov Scientists, mission managers, and other interested parties are invited to attend. Registration information, science mission abstracts, and additional information will be posted at: https:// NASA-techshowcase.seti.org 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 MIT/EAPS ASSISTANT PROFESSOR (TENURE TRACK)- OPEN SEARCH The Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) invites applications for a faculty position in the broad area of planetary habitability.
