2012 Senior Review for Operating Missions

NASA will host the next Astrophysics Division Senior Review for its Operating Missions in February 2012.  The purpose of this comparative review is to assist NASA in maximizing the scientific productivity from its Operating Missions.  NASA will use the findings from the Senior Review to:

• Prioritize the operating missions and projects;
• Define an implementation approach to achieve astrophysics strategic objectives;
• Provide programmatic direction to the missions and projects concerned for 2013 and 2014; and
• Issue initial funding guidelines for 2015 and 2016 (to be revisited in the 2014 Senior Review).
