The NASA HQ briefing was very well attended and featured the new SMD Chief John Grunsfeld and Jim Green of PSD. The message that came through clearly was that this budget is not what SMD or PSD prefers, but there is nothing that NASA HQ can do about it at their level. The new information from the briefing was a strong intention in SMD/PSD to reboot the Mars program in co-ordination with the human exploration side of NASA. The near-term impact is a committee that is looking at mission options in the 2018 time range for a ~$700 million range mission. This is money available in the current reduced budget and 5-year plan. Mars remains a very high priority for NASA HQ. Steve Mackwell of LPI organized a Planetary Community Forum where the chairs of the planetary-oriented scientific societies (Planetary AGU, DPS, Planetary GSA, and the Meteortical Society) discussed plans for action on the budget. The bottom line is that if the community wants a different budget, the community will need to engage with Congress and convince them to change the budget. The Societies are committed to working for restoration of the budget to FY2012 levels (to $1.5 billion from the current proposal of $1.2 billion) with legislative language that directs NASA to follow the Decadal Survey and plan on level funding for over the next five years. The consensus course of action is to target selected House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee members for engagement using meetings, letters, s, and FAXs to make our opinion forcefully known. In the next week the DPS web site will provide names, addresses, talking points, and suggested letter formats for these contacts. These actions need to be coordinated with the legislative calendar which can be a bit murky. The best guess is that the House Subcommittee will be marking up their appropriations bill in late May, so we will need to begin writing physical letters about April 15 (all mail to Congress is irradiated and takes four to six weeks to be delivered), and plan on ramping up s, visits and FAXs in mid-may. Additional contacts will be needed when the full House Committee meets on their budget, when the Senate Subcommittee meets, when the full Senate Committee meets, and probably when the House/Senate Conference Committee meets. Those dates are not clear now, but I will keep you informed. Dan Britt, DPS Chair NRC'S COMMITTEE ON ASTROBIOLOGY AND PLANETARY SCIENCE The National Research Council's Space Studies Board has merged the Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration (COMPLEX) and the Committee on the Origins and Evolution of Life (COEL) to create the new Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences (CAPS). The prime functions of CAPS will be to monitor the implementation of the recommendations contained in American Astronomical Society. Page 1 of 10
2 the Vision and Voyages planetary science decadal survey and in the reports drafted under the aegis of COEL and COMPLEX, and to act as the organizing committee for future studies in the areas of astrobiology and planetary science (e.g., the mid-term assessment of the decadal survey). Philip Christensen (Arizona State University) and J. Gregory Ferry (Pennsylvania State University) have agreed to serve as the co-chairs of CAPS. Seventeen additional individuals have been identified and have agreed to serve on the committee, pending approval by the NRC's Executive Office. CAPS will hold its first face-to-face meeting on May in the National Academies' Keck Center, 500 Fifth St. NW, Washington, D.C., Additional details about CAPS will be posted on its website at: [1] THE NASA INFRARED TELESCOPE FACILITY (IRTF) OBSERVING PROPOSALS DEADLINE: 02 April 2012 ***Use the ONLINE application form *** NASA Infrared Telescope Facility Observing Proposals. Due date for the 2012B semester (August 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013) is Monday, April 2, See our online submission form. Available instruments include: (1) SpeX, a 1-5 micron cross-dispersed medium-resolution spectrograph (up to R=2,500) and imager; (2) CSHELL, a 1-5 micron high-resolution spectrograph (up to R=40,000); (3) NSFCAM2, a pixel, 1-5 micron camera with a 0.04 /pixel scale (82 x82 field-of-view) and a circular variable filter; (4) MORIS, a 512x512 pixel Andor CCD camera mounted at the side-facing, dichroic-fed window of the SpeX cryostat (60"x60" field-of-view); MORIS can be used simultaneously with SpeX, and (5) PI-instruments including a low-resolution 3-14 micron spectrograph and high-resolution spectrographs for 8-25 microns. Information on available instruments can be found at: [2]. Important notice: We are planning to take NSFCAM2 off line during Aug.-Oct. 2012, to install a new infrared array and control electronics. We expect it to be available starting on Nov. 1, Due to the schedule uncertainties in returning the instrument to service, proposals to use NSFCAM2 will be accepted provided the program can be also accomplished with the SpeX slit viewer, which has 0.12 /pixel and a 60 x60 field-of-view. Important notice: We anticipate that SpeX will be taken off line during June Oct. 2013, and will be available Nov. 1, This is necessary to upgrade SpeX with new arrays and array controllers. We strongly recommend observers to plan their observing accordingly. We also expect to accommodate key projects requiring large amounts of observing time using CSHELL, NSFCAM2, and visitor instruments during time SpeX is not available. Visitor instruments (available on a collaborative basis with the instrument team) include: TEXES (5-20 micron high-resolution spectrograph; contact Matt Richter at richter@physics.ucdavis.edu [3] for more information), BASS (3-14 micron spectrometer; contact Ray Russell at Ray.W.Russell@aero.org [4]), and CELESTE (5-25 micron echelle spectrometer; contact Don Jennings at Donald.E.Jennings@nasa.gov [5]). Remote observing is available with SpeX, NSFCAM2, CSHELL, and MORIS. Remote observing requests must be made in the proposal application later requests will be considered if requested at least ONE MONTH ahead of time. If you wish to observe from your home institution, you MUST comply with the requirements for video conferencing and instrument operation provided on the Remote Observers Information page. First-time users should plan to work in Manoa, Hilo or at the summit for their first run with their support astronomer and become familiar with the instrument operation. Observers already familiar with the instrument and who want to observe remotely from their home institution are strongly encouraged to contact Miranda Hawarden-Ogata (hawarden@ifa.hawaii.edu [6]) to set up a test of the video link and user interface at least one month prior to their observing run. We cannot guarantee a successful remote observing connection on short notice since we have no control of hardware and software compatibility on the user s side. It is the responsibility of the PI to provide up to date observing contact information. Important notice: To keep our bibliography up to date and to ensure future funding of the IRTF, please check your publications at the following websites: Page 2 of 10
