NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES SPACE STUDIES BOARD
REVIEW OF NASA’S PLANETARY SCIENCE DIVISION’S RESTRUCTURED
RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM
The Space Studies Board has convened an ad hoc committee to examine the
program elements of NASA’s Planetary Science Division (PSD) Research
and Analysis (R&A) programs, as they currently exist following restructuring,
for their consistency with past advice from the Academies. The committee will
hold its second meeting August 16-18, 2016 in Washington, DC.

UPCOMING MEETINGS
A) EUROPA-ENCELADUS PLUMES MEETING
We will be hosting a Europa-Enceladus Plumes Meeting at Caltech all day
on Saturday 15th October 2016. The purpose of the meeting will be to compare
Enceladus and Europa plumes and their sources, and in particular to consider
how our understanding of Enceladus’ activity can be applied to Europan plumes,
and observations of them by the Europa mission.
If you would like to present a talk at this meeting, please submit a
brief (<250 word) abstract to http://goo.gl/forms/9hgFhoySVa7O9nEf2 by
5pm PST on 15th August 2016. Given the limited time and number of
people attending, and because we want to have adequate time for
discussion, we cannot guarantee that everyone who asks will be able to
talk. If we have to be selective, we will pick talks that most directly
address the major theme of comparing Enceladus and Europa plumes and
their sources, and/or how our understanding of Enceladus’ activity can
be applied to Europan plumes, and observations of them by the Europa
mission.
Carly Howett, Matt Hedman, John Spencer and Scott Edgington.
B) THE THIRD WORKSHOP ON EXTREMELY PRECISE RADIAL
VELOCITIES (EPRV III)
Please save the date for the Third Workshop on Extremely Precise Radial
Velocities (EPRV III), at the Pennsylvania State University, University
Park, PA, USA, during the week of August 7-13, 2017.
This workshop is for teams around the world to share techniques for advancing
precise radial velocity work towards 10 cm/s precision in coming years.
Building on the success of the first two workshops at Penn State in 2010
and Yale in 2015, the focus on this workshop will be on the performance
of the next generation of precise Doppler instruments, including hardware,
statistical techniques for signal extraction and interpretation, and stellar
jitter modeling and mitigation.
