<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is building new partnerships with the scientific community to advance bold goals in NASA’s Heliophysics program through the Heliophysics
Mission Concept Studies (HMCS) Announcement of Opportunity (AO). APL is one of the community design centers that would like to help proposers to carry out the point design for new mission concept. The APL Concurrent Engineering Laboratory (ACE Lab) employs
a full suite of tools and an extensive library of previous missions and concept documentation to produce rapid and collaborative mission concept evolutions. More information of ACE Lab can be found here: https://civspace.jhuapl.edu/engineering/apl-labs-facilities/ace-laboratory

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Members of the community interested in partnering with APL for their proposal should contact Dana Hurley or George Ho (Civil Space Mission Area Strategic Integration Leads – Dana.Hurley@jhuapl.edu;
George.Ho@jhuapl.edu) by Monday April 5th 2021 with an indication of your intent to propose and any questions that you have. We anticipate providing a few days of baseline engineering support during proposal formulation for up to 10 concepts, based on available
time and resources. If the demand is higher, we will provide boilerplate materials for additional concepts to aid the community as much as possible. Dana or George can answer any institutional questions and outline the path forward to submit a one-page science-based
abstract by the deadline of Friday April 9th 2021.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
