NASA Planetary Mission Senior Reviews - PMSR
Overview
NASA’s planetary science missions near the end of their prime mission (PM) or extended mission (EM) may propose an extension. These extended missions can leverage NASA’s large investment in order to perform continued science operations at a cost far lower than developing a new mission. In some cases, the extensions allow missions to continue to acquire valuable long-duration datasets, while in other cases, EMs allow missions to visit new targets, with entirely new science goals. The ‘Senior Review’ of these proposals typically happens every three years, by a panel made of experts from academia, NASA, and industry.
