For more information, see the research program overviews (A.1 - D.1 & F.1) and Sections I(d)i and III(a) of the ROSES-25 Summary of Solicitation. Appendix A (Earth Science) of ROSES-25 already had a prohibition on funding from NASA to government agencies other than NASA. That wording has been clarified. Appendix C, (Planetary Science) has also adopted this prohibition. Appendix B (Heliophysics), Appendix D (Astrophysics), and F.3 The Exoplanet Research Program have not applied that outright prohibition, but require any proposer planning on NASA funding to or through government agencies other than NASA seek approval from the point of contact for the program element to which they are planning to propose. D.1 The Astrophysics Research Program Overview notes that approvals for interagency awards for less than $100k per year are unlikely to be granted, regardless of whether the other Federal Agency is the submitting institution or a subawardee. General questions regarding ROSES-25 may be directed to sara@nasa.gov. Questions regarding specific program elements should be directed to the appropriate point of contact at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/program-officers-list/ [Edited for length] 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 [NASA] ROSES-25 AMENDMENT 2: EXOPLANETS RESEARCH PROGRAM STEP-1 DUE DATE DEFERRED TO NOVEMBER 25, 2025 The Exoplanets Research Program (XRP), element F.3 of ROSES-25, solicits basic research proposals to conduct scientific investigations that significantly improve our understanding of exoplanets and exoplanet formation.

Their ability to explore high and low, far and wide allows them to deploy instrumentation and collect remote-sensing data in regions and from perspectives otherwise difficult or impossible to access. The success of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter similarly opens prospects for transforming the study of Mars. Rotorcraft on Mars can facilitate geological and geophysical investigations, enable atmospheric measurements, and assist human exploration. Future missions to Mars could involve these aircraft as complements to ground-bound assets, such as rovers or fixed stations, or as stand-alone vehicles. This session welcomes presentations that consider how small rotorcraft may advance our understanding of Mars, both past and present. Submissions on aircraft-enabled Mars science, missions, and human exploration are all welcome. For details of additional activities, including a social e-mail Brian Jackson at bjackson@boisestate.edu or see: https://boi.st/AGU-2025-Mars-UAS Abstracts may be submitted here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prelim.cgi/Session/250381 11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11 [AGU 2025] SESSION P021: IO, EUROPA AND GANYMEDE IN THE EYES OF JUNO Session link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prelim.cgi/Session/248354 Abstract Deadline: Wednesday, July 30, 2025, 23:59 EDT The Juno spacecraft performed flybys of Ganymede, Europa, and Io between 2021 and 2025. The data collected during these flybys provided unprecedented views of these moons. Juno's multi-instrument measurements include high-resolution imagery in visible, ultraviolet, and infrared of the surface geology and composition, microwave sounding of the subsurface, gravitational sounding of the interior, as well as the in-situ characterization of the electromagnetic fields and particles environment of these moons. Concurrent observations from space-based and ground-based observatories, e.g. from JWST and ALMA, continue to reveal new features of these satellites. This session welcomes papers related to Juno's flybys of Europa, Ganymede and Io as well as space-based and ground-based remote observations of these moons, including the surface composition and processes, ice-shell structure, ocean dynamics, the structure and dynamics of deeper layers as well as atmospheric and space environment studies. Modeling work that provides context and interpretation of measurements are equally welcome. Conveners: Hao Cao (UCLA), Paul Schenk (LPI), Dustin Buccino (JPL), Ali Sulaiman (Univ. of Minnesota), Natalie Soheila Wolfenbarger (LANL) 12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12 [AGU 2025] SESSION P023: MACHINE LEARNING AND DATA SCIENCE METHODS FOR PLANETARY SCIENCE Many facets of research in planetary science rely on analyzing large volumes of in-situ and remote spacecraft data. Traditionally, these data were collected and analyzed manually. In recent decades, developments in machine learning (ML) techniques have begun to gradually augment traditional methods, answering the need for automation that can efficiently and intelligently extract information from large datasets in a useful manner. This session will be dedicated to data driven research that leverages ML and data science to enhance our scientific understanding and return from planetary data and missions. Topics may encompass studies from Earth-based data and existing and future planetary missions. Submissions are welcome for applications across science and engineering, including but not limited to: spacecraft operations and mission planning; surface, atmosphere, and space environment; object detection and classification; change detection; ML augmented physics-based models; interpretable methods; and other studies that apply ML and data science methods to planetary science.

This has spurred the development and application of new instrumentation, processing, modeling, analysis, and interpretation approaches to planetary radar science and engineering. We invite abstracts on any topic involving the use of radar data to understand planetary bodies. These may describe (but are not limited to) new results from existing radar observations, the development and application of new observation or data processing techniques, numerical modeling of existing or future observations, and/or the analysis of airborne or orbital radar data from terrestrial analog studies for Solar System observation. Please note that the abstract submission deadline is Wednesday, 30 July 2025 at 23:59 EDT/03:59 UTC. We look forward to receiving your abstracts and creating an engaging session for the community. Thank you, Sean Peters, Indujaa Ganesh, Kristian Chan, G Wes Patterson 14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14 [AGU 2025] SESSION P037: TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN ICY WORLD EXPLORATION Ocean worlds and subsurface icy/permafrost regions on planetary bodies captivate because of their astrobiological potential. Confirmation of life and habitability requires a landed mission that would allow ice and sub-ice shell penetration. Decades of research by labs and industry have catapulted a "cryobot" mission out of the realm of science fiction and into a viable mission capability. As the community makes leaps and bounds in technological innovation on multiple fronts, it is important to share results along the way and learn from one another's successes and challenges. In this session we seek to bring together those in the community working on technologies and innovations for icy environment and ocean world subsurface exploration. We seek input from industry, government labs, and academia and hope to cover all aspects of landed/probe missions including modeling, laboratory experiments, field tests, and mission studies.

It possesses a thick atmosphere composed of several hydrocarbon species and is home to some of the most complex organic chemistry known. The atmosphere in many ways is analogous to Earth's with methane forming clouds, rain and surface lakes. One of the major objectives of the Cassini mission was to study Titan's atmosphere and its interaction with the space environment. New discoveries and insights continue to be made 8 years after the end of the Cassini mission. This session brings together researchers studying Titan's atmosphere, ionosphere and space environment to present their latest results. Presentations highlighting data analysis, theory, modeling, and any combination thereof that furthers our understanding of the various regions of Titan and the interactions between them are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
