Solar System Observations (SSO) | |
The ROSES 2020 Solar System Observations (SSO)   Appendix C.6, specifies that: | |
NOTICE: The Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO) sub-element is now a separate ROSES program element entitled Yearly Opportunities for Research in Planetary Defense.
This program element uses a two-step proposal submission process described in Section 2 of C.1, The Planetary Science Division Research Program Overview. Mandatory Step-1 proposals are due April 22, 2020, and Step-2 proposals are due June 17, 2020. | |
  | |
Solar System Observations (SSO) supports primarily ground-based and limited airborne- and space-based astronomical observations of bodies in our Solar System. Proposals are solicited for observations over the entire range of wavelengths, from the ultraviolet to radio, that contribute to the understanding of the nature and evolution of the Solar System and its individual constituents. | |
  | |
Proposals to this program element must contain as a primary element new observations of Solar System objects (excluding Earth and Sun) during the period of the award’s performance. They must also support NASA's planetary science objectives that are not attained nor planned by current spacecraft missions,either in development or operations. Those objectives are discussed in more detail in the 2018 NASA Science Plan. | |
  | |
Observations over any range of wavelengths that enhance, complement, or otherwise expand on the science of NASA missions returning significant amounts of data within the proposed period of performance are especially encouraged. | |
  | |
Proposals to this Program Element must follow the rules for use of mission data given in Appendix C.1 The Planetary Science Division Research Program Overview, which states:Spacecraft mission data to be used in proposed work must be available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) or an equivalent, publicly accessible archive at least 30 days prior to the full proposal submission deadline. If the data to be analyzed have issues that might represent an obstacle to analysis, the proposers must demonstrate clearly and satisfactorily how such potential difficulties will be overcome. The calendar of record for data released in the PDS can be found at: https://pds.nasa.gov/datasearch/subscription-service/data-release-calendar.shtml |
