NASA is accepting applications from science and engineering 
post-docs, recent PhDs, and doctoral students for its 22nd Annual 
Planetary Science Summer School, which will hold two separate 
sessions this summer (19-23 July and 2-6 August) at the Jet 
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.  During the program, 
student teams will carry out the equivalent of an early mission 
concept study, prepare a proposal authorization review presentation, 
present it to a review board, and receive feedback.  At the end of 
the week, students will have a clearer understanding of the life 
cycle of a robotic space mission; relationships between mission 
design, cost, and schedule; and the tradeoffs necessary to stay 
within cost and schedule while preserving the quality of 
science.  Applications are due 1 May 2010.  Partial financial support 
is available for a limited number of individuals.  Further 
information is available at  http://pscischool.jpl.nasa.gov.
