Europa Imaging System (EIS) Science Co-Investigator for Phase E
National Aeronautics and Space Administration Europa Clipper Mission
Subcontract to PSI from The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
PI: Zibi Turtle (The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory)
Project Description
- Support Investigation/Mission Operations Planning
- Perform analyses to evaluate options for: operations; calibration; science tours and trajectories; synergistic investigations with other investigations, including surface clutter characterization with REASON and gravity
- Support development of the Mission/Science Operations plan, including: science campaigns and observation strategies; data allocations and prioritization; and Science Data Archive Working Group (DAWG) activities
- Support development of tools for observation planning, science operations, and data processing
- Support EIS flight calibration activities
- Support generation of derived data products, documentation, and analysis, including GIS products and interior models
- Generate presentations and/or publications (open access) for broad dissemination
- Participate in EIS telecons (≤every other month during cruise; 2-4 per month during science operations)
- Participate in Thematic Working Group meetings, telecons, and activities, as needed
- Support Focus Group meetings, telecons, and activities, as needed
- Support the Instrument Operations Working Group (IOWG), Science Operations Working Group (SOWG), and Tactical Science Group (TSG), as needed
- Participate in Science System Training telecons as needed
- Participate in Project Science Group (PSG) and EIS Investigation meetings per project schedule, with a PSG meeting duration of approximately 3.5 days and an additional day for EIS meeting for a total of 4.5 days
