Planetary Science Summer School
07/23- 07/27/07 and 08/06 - 08/10/07
Applications are due May 15, 2007, for NASA's
19th Annual Planetary Science Summer School,
which will hold two sessions this summer,
July 23-27 and August 6-10, at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, California.
Science and engineering post-doctoral and doctoral students with
a strong interest in careers in planetary exploration are encouraged
to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or resident aliens ("green card" holders)
and must be living within the U.S. at the time of application.
The student teams will develop the equivalent
of an early concept study responsive to
a typical NASA Announcement of Opportunity for robotic missions, prepare
a presentation for a proposal authorization review, present it to
a review board, and receive feedback. At the end of the week, students
will have a clearer understanding of the relationships among mission
design, cost, and schedule, and the trade-offs necessary to stay within
cost and schedule while preserving the opportunity to acquire high-quality
science. They will also understand the lifecycle of a robotic space
mission.
Partial financial support is available
to a limited number of individuals to help
defray the expense of travel and lodging
only. Applications are to be submitted electronically by May 15, 2007.
