SMD Suborbital Science in the Planetary Science Division Philippe Crane Planetary Atmospheres Discipline Scientist LCANS Meeting 28 April 2007

SMD April 28, 2007LCANS Meeting Boulder2 Overview Currently Planetary Science Division does not have a program to support directly research programs that require either balloons or rockets. A previous program was cancelled several years ago. There are currently no active suborbital programs in Planetary science! (That I am aware of!) Topics for today: Overview of Planetary Science Goals Current Research Opportunities in Planetary Science Research Carriers Programs--Access for Planetary Science Potential Avenues to new science opportunities

SMD Strategic Planning & Goals Several levels of Planning Documents Official NRC Decadal Reviews NASA Science Strategy (Delivered to Congress in Jan 2007 Division Roadmaps Un-official Planning documents from OPAG, VEXAG, MEPAG etc White papers from MOWGs etc

SMD Current Goals 1.How did the Sun’s family of planets and minor bodies originate? 2.How did the Solar System evolve to its current diverse state? 3.What are the characteristics of the Solar System that led to the origin of life? 4.How did life begin and evolve on Earth and has it evolved elsewhere in the Solar System? 5.What are the hazards and resources in the Solar system environment that will affect the extension of human presence in space?

SMD April 28, 2007LCANS Meeting Boulder6 Planetary Access to Near Space Suborbital Rockets –Managed by Heliophysics Division –Funded Research Programs in other divisions can get manifested –Cost of Rocket and Launch Support is supplied Balloons (Vernon Jones knows all!) –Managed by the Astrophysics Division –Funded Research Programs in other divisions can get manifested –Cost of Balloon, Helium, and Launch Support is supplied. Currently Planetary Science Division –Relevant Research elements may accept balloon and rocket proposals Check with Discipline Chief –Planetary atmospheres expects to receive at least one proposal for a UV rocket flight.

SMD April 28, 2007LCANS Meeting Boulder7 Potential Goals of Near Space Opportunities Purely Scientific Goals –Access to a spectral window IR UV –Enhanced opportunities Occultations of Pluto(!) –Selection based on scientific merit, feasibility, and cost! Enhanced technical capabilities (J Rall’s talk) –Instruments –Techniques

SMD April 28, 2007LCANS Meeting Boulder8 A Charge to the Organizers In order to help NASA Planetary Science Division to offer enhanced opportunities for sub-orbital research, 1.Read the relevant portions of the ROSES-07 NRA Announcement, 2.Consider how the structure or language could best be adapted to encourage and allow proposals that utilize sub-orbital facilities Is a separate research element the best way, or Could the individual elements be adapted What are the pros and cons of each approach??

SMD April 28, 2007LCANS Meeting Boulder11 PATM Workshop Date: 6-7 November 2007 Place: TBD( within 1 sigma of BWI and APL) In conjunction with OPAG and VEXAG –VEXAG: 4-5 November –OPAG: 8-9 November –All in the same place

SMD April 28, 2007LCANS Meeting Boulder12 Planetary Atmospheres in the Next Decade: A Look Forward Purpose: This professional workshop will highlight the planetary atmospheres research enabled primarily by the NASA Planetary Atmospheres program. The overarching goal of the workshop is to facilitate communication between researchers and to provide the opportunity for cross-disciplinary interaction. Goals: Enhance communication between planetary atmospheres researchers. Stimulate theoretical, laboratory, and observational activities in planetary atmospheric research in the next decade. Identify particular fields of critical interest if any.
