243rd Meeting of the American Astronomical Society

New Orleans, Louisiana
7 – 11 January 2024


Five Minute Formulation Activity

8 – 10 January 2024
NASA Booth, Exhibit Hall
9:00am – 6:30pm CT

This January at the AAS Meeting in New Orleans, we debut a new activity in the NASA Booth: Five Minute Formulation.

The primary goal is to make it easier for community members with ideas for space mission or instrument concepts to access experts at NASA Centers, especially for people whose institutions may not have abundant technical expertise. Another goal is to familiarize early-career researchers with NASA flight project formulation and nurture new principal investigators.

Come to our table at the NASA Booth in the Exhibit Hall to talk to our experts. We don’t expect that a concept will actually be formulated in 5 minutes. Rather, we hope to initiate conversations and point people in the right direction, whether it’s a contact at NASA or an existing training course. Feedback on previous experiences with NASA mission development will also be welcome!

Hope to see you!
Aki Roberge (GSFC) & Rhonda Morgan (JPL), Co-Organizers
