## Agenda

- Engineering Portal Concept
- Coming Soon! ... still under construction
- Ask your Division Chief (or Bernie Seery) about it
- Brief introduction to Divisions/Codes 540, 550, 560, 580, 590
- Overview of capabilities and expertise (*see detailed Division Presentations)
- Org Chart
- Branch list
- Key personnel names
- Customer list
- Maybe a ‘gee-wiz’ picture or two
- I am NOT these Divisions’ rep or spokesperson (except for Code 550)
- Points of Contacts
- *  Access to the detailed Division Presentations will be  made available on LESWG web page:  (look under pubs & presentations)
- 	http://ssedso.gsfc.nasa.gov/initiatives/lunar/LESWG/

## Engineering Portal Concept

- A way to support the development of science concepts (instruments and/or missions) that are at the ‘idea’ level of maturity ... definitely pre-B&P phase.
- Engineering FTE only, for now, maybe $’s later
- Short term help ... not meant for sustaining support
- Concepts which are already supported by existing funding sources are generally not eligible.
- Input requests (to the Portal – Code 601) are judged by Code 600 (Divisions & DEC) based primarily on the potential and/or likelihood to bring business to the Center.
- The Portal is NOT intended to be an engineering support ‘bottleneck’ ... please use and/or continue to use your existing engineering contacts, however, if you’d like some help, perhaps this can work for you.
- Note:  What do you think of this Concept? ... let your Division Chief or Bernie Seery know.
