ROSES 2022: Solar System Observations
Funding Agency:
- NASA
Solar System Observations (SSO) supports primarily Earth-based observations, including ground-, airborne- and space-based astronomical observations, of bodies in our solar system. Starting in ROSES-2022, SSO also accepts proposals seeking analysis of archival data acquired with Earth-based observatories. This program seeks to understand the physical, chemical, and dynamical processes that shape the atmospheres, exospheres, surfaces, interiors, and motions of solar system objects. Proposals are solicited for new observations over the entire range of wavelengths, from X-ray to radio, that contribute to the understanding of the nature and evolution of the solar system and its individual constituents. • Proposals must indicate how their proposed objectives advance scientific knowledge and the NASA Planetary Science strategic objectives. Those objectives are discussed in more detail in the 30TUNASA Science PlanU30T. • Proposals must include detailed observing plans and scientific analysis, mitigation strategies, data management, and publication plans for the proposed observations. • New observations that enhance, complement, or otherwise expand on the science of NASA flight missions are especially encouraged. These proposals must justify how their scientific objectives complement those of the mission. • Proposals may include observations that utilize any currently operating facility, public or private, including those supported by NASA. All proposed observations must be scientifically and budgetarily justified, including the use of facilities that are not open-access and require fees, as well as facilities that provide a funded observer program. • Full PI-led suborbital missions involving balloons, sounding rockets, or aircraft are not being solicited until further notice. Hosted payloads on already-funded suborbital platforms will be considered. • Proposals that primarily use data from missions with active Guest Observer or Guest Investigator programs or offer funding to do archival research (e.g., the Hubble Space Telescope) are not permitted.
