SCIENCE ENABLED BY A DEEP SPACE GATEWAY

NASA is sponsoring a three-day workshop to actively engage the scientific community in the early stages of determining the ways in which the deep space gateway concept could be used to facilitate science. This workshop will be held February 27-March 1, 2018, in the Denver area. The final location will be announced at a later date.

The intent of the workshop is to provide an open forum for the presentation, discussion, and consideration of various concepts, options, capabilities, and innovations to advance scientific discovery from cislunar space. Attendance will be by invitation only based on submitted abstracts. It is expected that some science investigations may require the attention of a crew while other investigations may simply use the gateway as infrastructure supplying power, communications, etc.

The goal is to have parallel sessions covering Heliophysics, Earth Science, Astrophysics, Fundamental Physics, Planetary Sciences, Life Sciences, and Space Biology. Scientists from these communities will discuss how the presence of the deep space gateway can enable
high-quality science.

Abstracts no longer than 2 pages are requested should be submitted to through the workshop web page by Dec. 15, 2017:

Heliophysics POC are Elsayed Talaat and Jim Spann at NASA HQ, and Barbara Giles at NASA GSFC.
