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.
