About this opportunity

Subject: Community Announcement on a NASA Solicitation for ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter Instruments NNH10ZDA005J Community Announcement on a NASA Solicitation for ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter Instruments December 11, 2009 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and the European Space Agency (ESA) intend to release in January 2010 an solicitation requesting proposals for instruments to be flown on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter with the objective of studying trace gases in the atmosphere of Mars. This solicitation will be issued as an amendment to the SALMON (Stand Alone Mission of Opportunity Notice) Announcement of Opportunity (AO) (released as NNH08ZDA009O; available at http://nspires.nprs.com/ ). OVERVIEW OF THE OPPORTUNITY The solicitation will be a Focused Mission of Opportunity (FMO) element of the omnibus SALMON AO. It will invite proposals for a suite of instruments to address the following prioritized scientific goals. 1. Detect a broad suite of atmospheric trace gases and key isotopes; 2. Characterize the spatial and temporal variation of methane and other key species, ideally representing families of photochemically important trace gases (HOx, NOx, hydrocarbons, etc) and their source 3. Localize the sources and derive the evolution of methane and other key species and their possible interactions, including interactions with atmospheric aerosols and how they are affected by the atmospheric and 4. Image surface features possibly related to trace gas sources and sinks. Anticipating approval of the joint ESA-NASA Mars Exploration Programme by the ESA Council, this AO will be the first competed element of the ESA-NASA joint Mars Exploration Programme. The agencies anticipate conducting the selection of instruments through a highly coordinated process respecting the established processes of each agency. Participation in this AO will be open to all categories of organizations in the United States, in ESA member states, as well as in other countries, including educational organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC's), NASA Centers, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and other Government agencies. Principal Investigators are responsible for and allowed to assemble investigation teams from any and all of these organizations. Given that this mission is part of the joint ESA-NASA Mars Exploration Programme, instrument proposals having an international dimension are encouraged. In particular, participation is encouraged from scientists in the and in countries contributing to ESA's Aurora Program (Austria, the United Kingdom). The cost cap for the entire suite of instruments requiring NASA funds and selected in response to this AO will be approximately $100 Million. The launch of the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission is targeted for January 2016. ESA does not fund the development and exploitation of instruments for its spacecraft. However, under ESA coordination, the national agencies and research institutions taking part in ESA’s Aurora Program and submitting proposal to this opportunity will be responsible for funding any instruments selected in response to this Announcement. THE EXOMARS TRACE GAS ORBITER INSTRUMENTS. The scientific goals and a strawman mission are described in detail in the Report of the Joint Investigation Definition Team (JIDT), which is available in the SALMON Reference Library at http://salmon.larc.nasa.gov/salmonreflib.html . The JIDT report discusses a potential set of instruments to address the mission science goals outlined above. Proposers should note that this was offered as a proof of concept, and does not represent any pre-selection by either ESA or NASA of instruments or techniques to accomplish the mission science goals. The strawman payload of individual instrument allocations are shown in the JIDT Report but should only be considered as a guideline.
