Amendment 71: C.30 Planetary Mission Concept Studies Text Correction and Due Date Delay

Amendment 71 corrected criteria and delayed due dates for program element C.30 Planetary Mission Concept Studies.

NASA has started preparations for the 2023 Planetary Science Decadal Survey and one of the tasks of the 2023 Decadal Survey Committee will be to recommend a portfolio of planetary science missions. The Decadal Survey Committee may choose to recommend a portfolio of missions containing a mix of prioritized large- and medium-size mission concepts, or even a program of competed medium- size missions. NASA and the community are interested in providing appropriate input to the 2023 Decadal Survey regarding medium/large-size mission concepts. To this end, NASA is soliciting proposals to conduct mission concept studies in planetary science. Results of the selected studies will be provided by NASA as input to the 2023 Decadal Survey.

In program element, C.30 Planetary Mission Concept Studies, the wording regarding the evaluation of Merit and Relevance in Section 3.1 Proposal Evaluation, has been corrected to remove redundancy and more clearly explain the factors for peer review. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. Mandatory NOIs are now due by April 1, 2019, and the due date for 15-page proposals is May 31, 2019. Also, a FAQ has been posted on the NSPIRES web page for this program element.

Questions regarding this program element may be directed to Doris.Daou@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.
