Amendment 19: Martian Moons eXploration mission Participating Scientist Program Final Text and Due Dates

The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission Participating Scientist Program (MMX-PSP) will support scientists at U.S. institutions to participate on the MMX mission, which the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is developing for launch in 2024. ROSES-2022 program element C.24 MMX-PSP solicits proposals for science investigations to be carried out during the primary flight and post-flight phases that significantly enhance the overall knowledge obtained from the MMX mission and that address outstanding questions directly related to mission objectives. Two categories of investigations are solicited in this call: Instrument Science and Sample Science.

ROSES-2022 Amendment 19 releases final text and due dates for MMX-PSP, which was previously listed as TBD. Mandatory NOIs are due June 16, 2022, and proposals are due August 16, 2022.

On or about May 16 2022, 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.

Questions concerning MMX-PSP may be directed to Thomas S. Statler at thomas.s.statler@nasa.gov.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
