This amendment creates C.25 which provides advance notice of the Rosetta Data Analysis program which will be solicited as part of ROSES-2017.
The objective of the Rosetta Data Analysis Program (RDAP) will be to enhance the scientific return of the Rosetta mission and broaden the scientific participation in the analysis of archived data collected from the Rosetta and Philae spacecraft.
The proposal due dates will be released with ROSES-2017, but the Planetary Science Division expects to schedule the Step-1 and Step-2 proposal due dates of RDAP to coincide with those of the Discovery Data Analysis Program (DDAP; program element C.11), and expects that RDAP proposals will be co-reviewed at the same time as DDAP proposals. However, RDAP awards will be funded from a source other than the Discovery Program. NASA expects to make approximately ten RDAP awards.
Questions concerning this program element may be directed to Thomas Statler at thomas.s.statler@nasa.gov.
