Editor's Corner
Michael King, EOS Senior Project Scientist
On March 31, Dr. Ghassem Asrar, NASA Associate Administrator for Earth Sciences, announced the selection of winning proposals for the University Earth System Science (UnESS) program. Of the twenty-four proposals submitted, NASA’s Office of Earth Science will fund four innovative Earth system science investigation concepts for future development as complete spaceflight missions or secondary payload instruments. Under the terms of the competition, these UnESS proposals are funded at approximately $300 K each for a period of nine months, after which point two primary missions and one back-up will be selected for final implementation. The two primary missions will be funded at $15 M each. This program is aimed at fostering the development of the next generation of Earth system scientists, engineers, managers, and educators through hands-on student involvement in global Earth observations from the vantage point of space.
The four concepts chosen for further development are...
