Project Description
This Statement of Work (SOW) is for science/technical 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 August 2020 through 31 July 2024 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. The science team is expected to participate in a team meeting at the Applied Physics Laboratory and can include funding for one additional conference within the period of performance, if applicable.
Specific responsibilities to include:
1. Participate in team meetings.
2. Analysis of data
3. Publication of science results.
4. Review science team member publications and presentations.
5. Support future proposal efforts.
Other responsibilities that are applicable:
1. Support instrument target selection.
2. Support processing, calibration, and analysis of radar data products.
3. Support development of data analysis and verification tools.
4. Support operations of the instrument including anomaly resolution.
