Are you interested in developing your first flight mission proposal but have no idea where to start? NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD), the Heising-Simons Foundation, and a team of mission experts have teamed up to make the mission development process more transparent and accessible.

The 3rd PI Launchpad workshop will be hosted at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, during the week of July 24th, 2023. This workshop will be in-person, with all costs covered for participants. The workshop, like previous ones, will cover a range of topics relevant to mission development and including networking events.

The application in the form of a notice of intent (NOI) is due April 14, 2023 on NSPIRES.

We will host a pre-application information session via WebEx to answer questions about the workshop and application on February 24th, 2023. Please see the full application and additional details on the NSPIRES page for this call.
