Outer Planet Flagship Mission – Site Visits - 12.11.2008
On Dec 9 and Dec 11, the NASA Science Panel chaired by Bill McKinnon and NASA Technical Management and Cost Review team (TMC) chaired by Brad Perry conducted site visits at JPL for the Titan Saturn System Mission (TSSM) and the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM). The study teams provided overviews of the two missions and responded to written questions submitted by the panels on the basis of the written reports. The Science Panel and the TMC also held meetings to discuss their findings on Dec 10 and 12 and the TMC is meeting this week to complete their reports. These reports will be used by NASA and ESA in deciding on the first Outer Planet Flagship Mission – a decision that is expected in early February 2009.
