NASA Planetary Science Summer School

NASA Planetary Science Summer School

Applications are due May 15, 2006, for NASA's 18th Annual Planetary
Science Summer School, which will hold two sessions this summer, July
24-28 and July 31 -August 4, at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, California. Science and engineering post-doctoral and
graduate students with a strong interest in careers in planetary
exploration are encouraged to apply. Preference is given to U.S.
citizens. The student teams will carry out the equivalent of an
early concept study responsive to a selected NASA Announcement of
Opportunity, prepare a proposal authorization review presentation,
present it to a review board, and receive feedback. At the end of
the week, students will have a clearer understanding of the
relationships among mission design, cost, and schedule, and the
trade-offs necessary to stay within cost and schedule while
preserving the opportunity to acquire high-quality science. They
will also understand the lifecycle of a space mission. Partial
financial support is available to a limited number of individuals to
help defray the expense of travel and lodging only. Applications are
to be submitted electronically by May 15, 2006 at
http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/pscischool/ .
