[NASA] ROSES-25 AMENDMENT 69: D.9 HABITABLE WORLDS OBSERVATORY 
INSTRUMENT CONCEPT ASSESSMENTS

Habitable Worlds Observatory Instrument Concept Assessments (HWO-ICA) 
program solicits proposals to support maturation of the HWO mission 
concept. The objective of HWO-ICA is to expand and deepen exploration 
of the HWO instrument trade space by developing and/or analyzing 
innovative instrument concepts and their scientific opportunity and 
performance, engineering feasibility and footprint, technology 
maturity and gaps, and associated risks:

https://tinyurl.com/yrz96muv

This program is intended to support the ongoing pre-formulation 
activities being conducted by the HWO Technology Maturation Project 
Office (HTMPO); the scope, deliverables, and timelines of HWO-ICA 
activities are therefore aligned to HTMPO's concurrent mission concept 
maturation activities. This opportunity does not support development 
of flight hardware or support tools/systems and does not imply 
participation in future HWO mission development.

HWO-ICA supports two categories of proposals:

- Category 1: led by U.S.-based institutions to conduct instrument 
  concept assessments over a nominal ~2-year period

- Category 2: to support U.S.-based individuals participating in 
  currently ongoing instrument concept programs led and funded by 
  non-U.S. institutions, for nominally up to ~2 years

Proposals are due by October 14, 2026.

Questions may be directed to Megan Ansdell at Megan.C.Ansdell@nasa.gov.

NASA INFRARED TELESCOPE FACILITY: SEMESTER 2027A - CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Announcing the NASA IRTF Call for Proposals: Open September 1 until 
October 1 for Semester 2027A (February 1 - July 31)

IRTF offers a unique range of imaging capabilities with broad and 
narrow band filters and spectroscopic observing capabilities covering 
wavelengths from 0.5um to 20um and resolutions of 50 to 80,000. 
Non-sidereal tracking of Solar System objects, including near-Earth 
objects, is a particular strength.

Pre-observing training is offered for new observers and those 
unfamiliar with the instruments.

ToO interrupt and time critical programs are supported. Observing is 
usually conducted fully remotely. In-person observing to build 
experience or conduct particularly challenging programs is available, 
accommodation is included and transportation between the observatory 
and accommodation may also be provided.

For more information about proposing to time on IRTF, full details on 
the instruments, exposure time calculators and all other information 
needed for proposal preparation, visit:

UPCOMING EUROPLANET WEBINAR

Neutron Scattering as a Powerful Tool for Studying Multi-Scale 
Structure for Planetary Sciences

Speaker: Zachary Amato

Neutrons can be used as a powerful probe and vital tool for a wide 
range of fields. Neutron scattering is used to obtain a direct and 
detailed insight into the structure and dynamics of condensed matter 
- matching dimensions in space from single atoms to macromolecules and 
in time from atomic vibrations to diffusion of large molecular units - 
depending on the instrument and facility used. Compared to other 
scattering probes, neutrons are non-interacting and scatter off the 
nucleus - allowing for much deeper penetration. This unique mechanism 
gives them the ability to 'see' hydrogen with high sensitivity, which 
is present in most molecules relevant to planetary and interstellar 
environments, and allows them to differentiate between isotopes.

By exploiting isotopic differentiation, such as using selective H/D 
substitution, we can also highlight interatomic correlations of 
interest. Another important advantage is that complex sample 
environments can be used, such as in situ vacuum chambers, pressure, 
and flow cells.

Zachary Amato will present each of the main techniques and go through 
examples of studies relevant to planetary sciences.

Regular registration rates for DPS-58 at the Spokane Convention 
Center, 25-30 October 2026 have been extended by 3 weeks. DPS-58 will 
be a hybrid meeting with live-streamed in-person and recorded virtual 
talks and in-person posters. Three classes of registration include: 
full in-person, full virtual, and virtual meeting observer for low 
cost.

Regular registration deadline: 20 August 2026

[DPS-58] FIELD TRIP AT DPS-58 MEETING

The DPS-58 Local Organizing Committee is hosting a field trip to the 
Channeled Scablands Sunday, 25 October, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm for 
$165 /person. Spokane, WA sits on the Columbia River flood basalt that 
is an analog for basaltic flows on the Moon, Mars, Mercury, and Venus. 
The Channeled Scablands were formed on the lavas by megafloods from 
Pleistocene glacial Lake Missoula, and are an analog to Martian 
outflow channels. The cost covers lunch and bus transportation from 
the conference center and back in time for the opening ceremony. Most 
stops are overlooks, but some have very short walks to outcrops. You 
must register for the meeting and add the trip to your registration. 
Login to the registration page with the same username and password 
that you used to register, scroll down, add the trip to your 
itinerary, and proceed to checkout.

[DPS-58] CONFERENCE LODGING

Please consider arranging your hotel for DPS-58 at official conference 
lodging. There is a block of rooms at government rates, and lodging is 
connected to the conference venue-the Spokane Convention Center-via a 
covered a walkway. The hotel features an onsite restaurant and other 
options are located nearby. Utilizing this lodging will cut both cost 
to attend the conference and carbon footprint to attend the conference 
by eliminating the need for car rental.

Commercial: Free Commercial Lunar Data for Academics

Commercial lunar companies will generate terabytes of novel data about 
the Moon. To use these data equitably, academic researchers will need 
governmental, non-profit, or other financial assistance in gaining 
access to these proprietary datasets. Potomac Database Systems is 
situated to help scientists and students get and use these data for 
free while maintaining financial incentives for companies working on 
the lunar surface.
