EOS Senior Project Scientist
Every two years NASA’s Earth Science Division conducts a Senior Review of the missions in (or entering) extended operations. This past spring 13 missions were reviewed: ACRIMSAT, Aqua, Aura, CALIPSO, CloudSat, EO-1, GRACE, Jason-1, OSTM, QuikSCAT, SORCE, Terra, and TRMM. In March 2013 each team submitted continuation proposals, and budgets for both FY14-15 and FY16-17. The review process involved three panels: a Science Panel to review the mission’s overall scientific merit and two panels focusing separately on Technical and Cost and National Interests.
