Jicamarca Support for Rocket Proposals for Cielo Campaign in Peru

This message includes guidance for investigators intending to propose for NASA sounding rocket
campaign (Cielo) planned for Peru in 2028 and described in the ROSES-24 document and in
Amendment 10 to element B.9 in particular:  H-LCAS_Amend52v3.pdf.

Cielo investigators requiring ground-based experimental campaign support from the Jicamarca
Radio Observatory should take note of the paragraph regarding Jicamarca provided below and
posted on https://landau.geo.cornell.edu/cielo.html for guidance. Specifically, the relevant
paragraph should be copied and included in their NASA LCAS proposal. Note that this language
supersedes instructions on page B.9-6 of the LCAS solicitation only for proposals for Peru
missions that require Jicamarca support.

Investigators requiring ground-based support from the Jicamarca Radio Observatory, including
any of its supporting instruments such as the Digisonde, the VIPIR sounder, the AMISR-14, and
regional magnetometers, GNSS receivers, and sounders, etc., should address their requirements
by including the following text in their LCAS proposals.

“We anticipate the availability of ground-based support for the Cielo campaign from the
Jicamarca Radio Observatory. It is understood that individual PIs need not make provisions for
Jicamarca observing time in their proposal budgets. To the extent the NASA mission outlined in
this proposal requires Jicamarca support, we have verified that the necessary experimental
capabilities are either available now or will be available by the time of the campaign with the
Observatory Director, Danny Scipión, or the Campaign Scientist, David Hysell. The proposal
furthermore outlines the nature of the observing support required. We anticipate that the
proposed investigation will require up to XX hours of observing time.”
