UAH Baseline Mission Describe the vehicles that UAH has You can use the slides that we provided you Tell us which vehicle you are on (and why you want to be on that one) This doesn’t have to be finalized, but give us your best guess so far Where do you plan on going Planet/Moon name is NOT specific enough This should be because of your science objective Again, a best guess is good enough right now

Science Objective List the science objective (or objectives) You don’t have to have chosen yet, but give us your top three and explain why these are of interest to you You should answer the questions Who cares about this science objective? Why should they care? How will it change our lives/perspective, etc.?
