NASA ROSES-18 Amendment 44: B.6 LWS Science Final Text
This amendment releases final text for the program element B.6 Heliophysics Living With a Star Science.
The stated goal of LWS, that of achieving an understanding of those aspects of the Sun-Solar System that have direct impact on life and society, poses two great challenges for the LWS program. First, the program seeks to address large-scale problems that cross discipline and technique boundaries (e.g., data analysis, theory, modeling, etc.); and second, the program will identify how this new understanding has a direct impact on life and society.
The Targeted Investigations component this year consists of four Focused Science Topics:
1) Mid-latitude and Equatorial Dynamics of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere System
2) Origins, Acceleration and Evolution of the Solar Wind
3) Understanding the Response of Magnetospheric Plasma Populations to Solar Wind Structures and
4) Understanding Global-scale Solar Processes and their Implications for the Solar Interior
This amendment releases final text for program element. Step-1 proposals are due February 14, 2019 and the Step-2 proposals are due March 29, 2019.
On or about December 14, 2018, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2018” (NNH18ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and will appear on the RSS feed at: https://science.nasa.gov/
