NASA and ESA are planning to charter a Measurement Definition Team (MDT) to assess the measurement and instrumentation needs for the high-containment Mars Sample Return Sample Receiving Project facility to process samples brought back from Mars and accomplish sample safety assessment, curation, and science. There will be an open call for membership, and early career individuals are encouraged to apply. We expect the applications for this committee to be accepted in late spring 2023, with an anticipated committee timeline between September 2023 and July 2024.
