*From NCAR's High Altitude Observatory: *
*NASA Heliophysics Mission Design School application*

The Heliophysics Mission Design School prepares the next generation of
engineers and scientists to 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.

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.

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.

*Applications are due April 27, 2020 *
Selections will be announced May 18, 2020
Sessions for selected participants begin (1) June 22, 2020, and (2)
September 7, 2020
