Project Description
This Statement of Work (SOW) is for science team support for the Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) instrument on the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) during its fourth extended mission. The Principal Investigator (PI) institution is the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD. Science/technical team activities for the period of performance from 1 January 2020 through 31 July 2020 are centered on acquisition and analysis of bistatic radar data and the publication of science results. Costs include all level of effort, travel, equipment, and burden required to complete the designated tasks for the period of performance. As a Science Co-I, Morgan’s activities will focus on the acquisition and analysis of bistatic radar data and the presentation and publication of science results. Morgan’s Specific responsibilities to include:
1. Target selection for S and X-band collects
2. Radar data analysis.
3. Input of radar products into GIS environments.
4. Present results at science team meetings and conferences
5. Publication of science results.
6. Review science team member publications and presentations.
7. Participate in team meetings.
8. Support future proposal efforts.
