NASA ROSES-07 Amendment 21: Cancellation of Living With a Star Space Environment Testbeds program

This amendment cancels the program element in Appendix B.6 entitled “Living With a Star Space Environment Testbeds.” The Living With a Star (LWS) program has recently announced that NASA will be providing contributions to ESA’s Solar Orbiter mission. A Focused Opportunity for the Solar Orbiter mission will be a part of the SMEX AO (see http://explorers.larc.nasa.gov/smexacq.html). At this time, the LWS program can not support new SET investigations in addition to the Solar Orb

iter focused opportunity. The LWS program is proceeding with the SET-1 mission and all previously selected SET investigations. However no further SET investigations will be solicited at this time.

On or about September 14, 2007, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2007” (NNH07ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select “Solicitations” then “Open Solicitations” then “NNH07ZDA001N”).

Further information about this program element is available from Dr. Dana Brewer, Heliophysics Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA, Washington, DC 20546-0001; Telephone: (202) 358-1678; E-mail: Dana.A.Brewer@nasa.gov.
