participate in future solar system exploration missions. Participants learn the mission life cycle, roles of
scientists and engineers in a mission environment, mission design interconnectedness and trade-offs, and
the importance of teamwork. </div><div><br></div><div>The session has about 18 participants (number of JPL Team X seats and science mentors), who are
science and engineering post-docs, recent PhDs (<10 years), and doctoral candidates (or recently
completed engineering masters degrees) with a strong interest in heliophysics. We also accept very early
career professionals and faculty in this field. </div><div><br></div><div>The workload of HMDS is roughly the same as a rigorous 3 credit-hour quarter university graduate course.
During the initial 11 weeks, students work remotely and collaboratively in science team roles to select the
mission and science goals, and develop a preliminary suite of instrumentation and a science traceability
matrix. Once at JPL for the final week, students also work in their mission development role, participating
in a series of A-Team/Team X project design sessions—their Team mentors aid them in finalizing their
mission design and instrument suite, and in making the necessary trade-offs to stay within the cost cap.
Tours of JPL facilities highlight the end-to-end mission life cycle. At week’s end, students present their
Concept Study to a “proposal review board” of JPL scientists and engineers and NASA Headquarters
program staff, who feed back the strengths and weaknesses of their proposal and mission design. <br></div><div> <br></div><div><b>Applications are due April 27, 2020 </b></div><div>Selections will be announced May 18, 2020 </div><div>Sessions for selected participants begin (1) June 22, 2020, and (2) September 7, 2020 </div><div>For more information, visit <a href="http://go.nasa.gov/missiondesignschools" target="_blank">http://go.nasa.gov/missiondesignschools </a> </div><div> <br></div><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
