PA33B:
Integrating Science and Users for NASA Mission Development: NASA's New Path Forward in Science Applications Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 13926

Session Description:
NASA has enhanced the way future mission science is developed. NASA’s Earth Science Division recently released guidelines for future missions on implementing science applications structure that integrates feedback and guidance of end users and Early Adopters into the development of science products.   This special session will roll out the "ESD Guidelines for a Project Applications Program”, which bridges science and society for the integration into Project Applications Program of the observatory life cycle.  This means, end user feedback, collaboration and guidance will be woven into the mission science and product development beginning from Project Concept Review through Decommissioning.    This special session includes presentations on NASA’s Earth Science Applications Program, and by Missions, Early Adopters and practitioners of this model.  Missions like SMAP, ICESat-2, SWOT, and initiatives such as NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System and the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment will provide examples of stakeholder integrated activities, research efforts and lessons learned.
