Summary Description
60
Doschek, George
A., et al.
The High Resolution Solar-C
International Collaboration
Proposes a collaboration to observe
simultaneously the photosphere, chromosphere,
transition region, and corona at high spatial,
spectral, and temporal resolution with proposed
high-resolution Solar-C mission.
61
Dyrud, Lars, et al.
A Crucial Space Weather Effect: Meteors
and Meteoroids
Describes the importance of the interplanetary
meteoroid and dust environment to support
studies of solar system evolution, solar
wind, upper atmospheric physics, planetary
atmospheres and ionospheres, planetary
geology, and manned and unmanned spacecraft.
62
Dyrud, Lars, et al.
Commercial Access to Space for
Scientific Discovery and Operations
Describes the observations required to achieve
the greatest scientific advances with arrays of
scientific sensors distributed throughout the
system gathering data.
63
Eastes, Richard W.
Far Ultraviolet Imaging of the Earth’s
Thermosphere and Ionosphere
Proposes a mission to provide full disk images
of atmospheric temperature and composition
during the daytime and electron densities in
the F2 region of the ionosphere at night using
far ultraviolet (FUV) spectral imaging from
geostationary orbit.
64
Ebbets, Dennis, C.,
et al.
Flight Opportunities for Hosted
Payloads on the Iridium NEXT Satellites
Invites ideas for flying sensors as hosted
payloads on the NEXT constellation of
commercial communications satellites being
developed by Iridium Satellite.
65
Elkington, Scot R.,
and X. Li
MORE/ORBITALS: An International
Mission to Advance Radiation Belt
Science
Proposes support for the MORE/ORBITALS
mission, an international collaboration to build
a spacecraft to study the dynamical evolution of
the radiation belts.
66
Emmert, John T.,
et al.
Geospace Climate Present and Future
Describes the importance of the systematic
response of geospace to natural and
anthropogenic forcing for societal utilization of
this environment.
67
England, Scott, L
et al.
Concept Paper: An Investigation of the
Coupling of the Earth’s Atmosphere to
Its Plasma Environment
Proposes a mission concept that addresses ionneutral coupling.
68
Englert, Christoph,
R., et al.
Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy:
An Emerging Optical Technique for
Heliophysics and Beyond
Proposes the use of the Spatial Heterodyne
Spectroscopy for NASA missions.
69
Eparvier, Francis G.
The Need for Consistent Funding of
Facilities Required for NASA Missions
Explores how to avoid the risk of the haphazard,
precarious, and inconsistent funding of
calibration and test facilities, which are necessary
for the success of NASA missions such as NIST
SURF Beamline-2.
