<p class="MsoNormal">Enhance Your Early Career! NASA’s Heliophysics Mission Design School (HMDS) is
<span style="color:black">a 3-month career development experience to learn the development of a hypothesis-driven robotic space mission in a concurrent engineering environment, getting an in-depth, first-hand look at mission design, life cycle, costs, schedule
& the inherent trade-offs inherent. A NASA Science Mission Design School, HDMS is led by Jet Propulsion Laboratory in collaboration with Goddard Space Flight Center & Applied Physics Laboratory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">Science & engineering postdocs & early career researchers & faculty across all heliophysics disciplines (within 10 years post-Ph.D.) who are U.S. Citizens
or legal permanent residents (& a very limited number of Foreign Nationals from non-designated counties) are eligible. Applicants from diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Roughly equivalent in workload to a rigorous 3-hour graduate-level course, participants spend 10 weeks in preparatory webinars acting as a science mission team for a community-priority solar or space physics mission & build their science
traceability matrix. The final culminating week, participants are mentored by JPL’s Advance Project Design Team (“Team X”) to refine their mission concept design, then present it to a mock expert review board. The culminating week is typically held at JPL,
however for 2022 it may be virtual instead due to on-going Covid-19 pandemic conditions.</p>
