Mission TimelineMission Timeline

12-18 months prior to mission12-18 months prior to missionAnnouncement of opportunity in the annual Research Opportunitiesin Space and Earth Science (ROSES) release. Proposals are thendue 3-6 months after the announcement.

9-12 months before mission9-12 months before mission

Various proposals are submitted to the announcement ofopportunity

Instrument teams propose to make airborne and ground basedmeasurements specified in the white paper and announcement

Investigators propose to perform modeling studies to support the

science goals of the missionScientists propose to lead the mission science team
