Topic: Some review and context for the PSAA, concentrating on logistics.
Agenda:

  • Introductions, and brief overview/history of PSAA
  • Some Past Examples of AA missions that yielded big planetary science
  • Near and Far term, and future missions
  • NASA HQ Program Scientist
  • Future meeting times and Cadence, next meeting: schedules and topical considerations (various).
  • Conclusions

Meeting presentations
Overview
Future Missions


Notes (most comments were in context of the Overview and Future mission presentations above):

  • For the "Actions" of the committee, we should also present to AAS and DPS, as well as submit the white paper to BOTH The Astrophysics and Planetary Decadal Committees.
  • We should consider astrophysics assets, not Only space assets; IRTF, SOFIA, LSST, etc.
  • Expand membership to include expertise
    • DD(NHQ) suggested possibly an open call, but in any case a means of soliciting input from the community, possibly through a Google Doc/form or some email, and can provide help.
    • SNM(Co-Chair) suggested need to keep membership manageable, but emphasized the need for a method of input, Google Doc good idea.
    • DD (NHQ) noted the balance was weighted towards small bodies, SNM noted that the Giant Planet scientists were not attending today.
    • AR(APL-JHU) suggested reaching out to other communities, including Japan mission input, to expand the committee to include a few more intl. scientists.
    • GB(Co-Chair) suggested a committee size of over 20 gets unwieldy. Bi-weekly Cadence for meetings, to prepare in time for input to Decadal committees.
  • Action Items:
    • All - expect an email in the next week to establish account for wiki edit permissions... update contact and affiliation information. Also, think of a few key members (will need to down-select to 3-5 additions).
    • Co-Chairs - Come up with some options for soliciting input. Draft Schedule and Milestones. Set up Doodle poll for regular meeting times.
