Science Areas

Earth observation
Heliophysics
Astrophysics and fundamental physics
Lunar and Planetary sciences
Human physiology, space biology, and human health and performance

Topics

Several examples of possible discussion topics are provided below. Not all topics will be relevant to all the science areas, but many will be cross-disciplinary. We expect additional topics to be included based on the ideas we receive from the abstracts.

Externally mounted instrumentation
Instruments inside the pressurized modules
Receiving and storing planetary samples
Science enabled by telerobotics
Use of the gateway as a communication hub for cubesats
Science enabled by support/servicing of lunar landers and/or independent satellites

It is envisioned that working groups associated with the science areas will meet, in parallel, on the first two days of the workshop. These parallel sessions will contain brief overview talks but will also have a significant amount of time allocated for discussion. Summary reports from the working groups will be presented by the working group chairs in the plenary session on the last day of the workshop. A summary report will be delivered to NASA’s associate administrators for SMD and HEOMD following the workshop.
