Description
Notice of Intent to Release a Solicitation for a Mars Telecommunication Orbiter (MTO) Science Investigation The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to release an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) no earlier than May 1, 2005, for a MTO Science Investigation. This investigation must support the science theme of Mars Climate/Weather Monitoring identified by the MTO Science Definition Team.
The MTO science investigation will require providing a science instrument to be launched with the MTO mission in late 2009.
The launch services and spacecraft will be NASA-provided resources.
Proposals in response to this AO will be due 90 days after its formal release. Participation in this AO will be open to all categories of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including educational institutions, industry, not-for-profit organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, NASA Centers and other Government agencies. A Preproposal Conference will be scheduled approximately 3-6 weeks after the AO is released.
Details for this conference will be provided in the AO. Questions or comments about this intention to release an MTO Science Investigation may be addressed in writing or by E-mail to the NASA MTO Program Scientist: Dr. R.
