The components and technologies developed by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory can be used for a small spacecraft to go anywhere within the inner solar system, independently. The technologies can be used for orbiters, landers, rovers, aerial vehicles, or whatever you can imagine, in a compact form factor. This will allow innovation with new types of mission architectures, broader participation in deep space exploration and also more science to be accomplished by both government and private institutions. We will discuss how this came to be, why it\u2019s important and what\u2019s possible now in the area of small missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bio: <\/strong>John is currently the Program Office Manager for Low Cost Planetary Projects. He has over 35 years of experience at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. His most recent accomplishment was the Mars Cube One mission, known as MarCO, the first deep space CubeSat, that successfully flew to Mars in 2018. He is also leading the development of other Projects for NASA including Lunar Flashlight, a 6U CubeSat mission to detect surface water ice on the Lunar south pole, the Lunar Trailblazer to map water ice on the Moon, the Far-side Seismic Suite and the CADRE rovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John spent many years flying Earth remote sensing science payloads on the Space Shuttle. He then went to work to develop new planetary science mission concepts and more efficient and reliable approaches to formulate and implement missions. After leading the initial Mars Science Laboratory mission systems engineering, he went to NASA HQ to be a Program Executive for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. John has also led the development of numerous other innovative hardware technologies, software applications and mission concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S3VI encourages the community to submit questions before the webinar to enable more directed responses.
