2024 Annual Meeting of the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group *, Houston, Texas/Virtual
The Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG) supports NASA in providing analysis of scientific, technical, commercial, and operational issues in support of lunar exploration objectives and their implications for lunar architecture planning and activity prioritization. The annual meeting brings together community members from their respective sub-fields (science, exploration, academia, commercial, etc.) to support the exploration of the Moon. This meeting will include an opportunity for virtual participation.

Itokawa and the Dawn of Asteroidal Sample Return Workshop *, Houston, Texas/Virtual
This workshop will highlight and focus on Itokawa samples, the Hayabusa mission, asteroid-meteorite connections, and other past, present, and future asteroidal sample return missions through a combination of invited and contributed presentations, panel discussions, and LPI lab tours. The LPI’s Expanding NASA’s Community of Planetary Sample Scientists (ENComPSS) program is supporting this workshop at the Lunar and Planetary Institute. Although the emphasis of the workshop will be on in-person participation, opportunities for virtual participation will be available.
