PSI Personnel

Project Description

PSI shall provide the services of Dr. Candice Hansen, Co-Investigator, to lead the JunoCam team.

1. Phase E Technical Elements of Work

The Juno science team members shall provide the following science support to the PI and the Science Team as specified:
a) Attend Science Team Meetings. The Juno science team meetings will occur three times per year, will last 3 days, and will rotate between JPL (Pasadena, CA area), LM (Denver, CO area) and SwRI (San Antonio, TX area). Team members should substitute one international meeting to occur every other year in place of one domestic meeting. In addition attend one JunoCam team meeting per year at the Malin Space Science Facility in San Diego, CA.
b) Operations and Science Activities. Phase E operations and science activities are described in the document Juno Phase E Planning Guidelines (Attachment A). Team members will refer to this document and participate in activities as they apply to JunoCam and the Science Planning Working Group.
c) Action Item Response. Respond to action items generated during science team meetings. Provide Juno PI or Science Team Leader with requested analysis, report, or other requested product within the time frame agreed to with the originator of the action item.
d) Special Studies and Analyses. Perform special studies and analyses as requested by the Juno PI.
e) Science Papers. Prepare and present Juno related results at science conferences (e.g. AGU) and in peer-reviewed publications.

4.3.2 Phase E Programmatic Elements of Work

Science team members shall perform the following programmatic elements of work
a) Submit a bulleted list of 2 – 3 activities accomplished to be included in SwRI monthly progress reports to NASA/MSFC. Progress may be submitted via email.
b) Manage subcontract budget and inform SwRI of financial status as requested.

Elements of Work
PSI shall provide the services of Leslie Vittling to be responsible for the operation of the JunoCam instrument.
1. Phase E Technical Elements of Work
The JunoCam operations lead shall provide the following science support to the PI and the Science Team as specified:
a) Operation of JunoCam. Operation of the JunoCam instrument on the Juno spacecraft includes definition of commands for image sequences, development of the SASF and auxiliary products for delivery to JPL, and special sequence development as needed. The JunoCam ops lead will monitor the image processing production pipeline and ensure that the proper products are delivered for posting images on the JunoCam portion of the missionjuno website. The JunoCam ops lead will attend all relevant project telecons to report on the status of the instrument and sequence development. Comprehensive status reports will be given at the once-per-year JunoCam team meeting at the Malin Space Science Facility in San Diego, CA. The JunoCam ops lead will generate the command sequences for each encounter.
b) Archival of JunoCam products. The JunoCam ops lead oversees the delivery of JunoCam products to JSOC for ultimate archival in the Planetary Data System (PDS), including quality checks, documentation, and version control, as needed.
c) Action Item Response. The JunoCam ops lead will respond to action items generated during science team meetings, and will provide the Juno PI or JunoCam Science Team Leader with requested analysis, report, or other requested product within the time frame agreed to with the originator of the action item.
d) Special Studies and Analyses. Perform special studies and analyses as requested by the Juno PI.
