Dear RHESSI'ers,
We are soliciting input for the NASA 2015 Senior Review of Heliophysics operating missions. Please send us summaries of your RHESSI-related work over the last two years and, as importantly, your plans for future work.
To help you decide what will be most useful to us in preparing the proposal, here are excerpts from the Instructions to Proposers:
The objectives of the 2015 HPD Senior Review for MO&DA is to assess the science merits and performance of these 15 missions (in alphabetical order): ACE, AIM, CINDI, Hinode, IBEX, IRIS, RHESSI, SDO, STEREO, THEMIS, TIMED, TWINS, Van Allen Probes, Voyager, and Wind. Performance factors to be evaluated will include mission scientific productivity, technical status, budget efficiency, data quality and accessibility, and contribution to the "Heliophysics System Observatory (HSO)."
"The period for this Senior Review will cover FY16 to FY20. Each mission that is invited to this Senior Review will submit a proposal outlining how its science investigations will benefit the Heliophysics research objectives. These objectives and focus areas are described in the Science Plan for NASA's Science Mission Directorate 2014" - the SMD Science Plan available at - http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2014/05/02/2014_Science_Plan-0501...
