News Flash: RLEP is dead. New lunar exploration program is called LPRP. Program has moved from GSFC, then to Ames, and now to MSFC. Program has been in flux since its inception – an evolving implementation has resulted and with evolving leadership at HQ and at field centers Will lunar exploration live beyond October 2008? Cost of RLEP-2 (now called LPRP-2 or maybe even LPRP-1?) is higher than originally anticipated. The whole program is being revisited in light of latest costings.

Science Subcommittee Conference #06-2 Lunar Science Workshop Planning Proposed Discussion Points Overall Conference Objectives (Historically Comparable to 1965 Woods Hole Conference for Apollo) Consider Exploration Science, Lunar Science, and Lunar-Based Science for a Return to the Moon Develop Science Objectives and Priorities as Contribution to Return to the Moon Program Planning, Spacecraft Design, Training, and Operations Consider Decadal Survey and other Strategic Inputs (This and all remaining slides culled from content in H. Schmitt’s NAC presentation and Heliophysics Subcommittee’s Lunar Science Workshop planning document.)

Organizational Issues for Subcommittee Consideration (Particularly PSS) Agenda for workshop including identification of breakout groups Attendance including the roles for the LEAG, MEPAG and potentially other AGs Invited papers and possible letters to solicit such papers Pre-workshop documents for attendees Role of Science Committee members Role of SSB Potential opportunities for international cooperation
