PRE-DECISIONAL - For planning and discussion purposes only Agenda

• Project Overview – Project Objectives – Project Organizational Approach and Organization – Schedules • Mission Overview – Mission Objectives – Mission Design – Mission Timeline – Flight System Overview – Mission Characteristics – Mission Comparisons – JIMO to historical missions – Potential Enhancements – Jovian Atmospheric Probes, Europa Landers, Io followon mission

June 12, 2003 PRE-DECISIONAL - For planning and discussion purposes only JRC - 2 Project Objectives

• The Project will develop the mission to meet the following overarching objectives: • Technology – Develop a powered spacecraft and show that it can be processed safely, launched safely, and operated safely and reliably in deep space for long- duration deep space exploration ƒ Subsidiary to this major objective is the development of technology and associated system technologies preparatory to demonstrating their effectiveness in deep space exploration • Science – Explore the three icy moons of Jupiter – Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa and return science data that will meet the highest scientific goals as set forth in the Decadal Survey Report of the National Academy of Sciences. ƒ The high power and high data rate afforded by will enable science data return that is unprecedented in quality and quantity.

June 12, 2003 PRE-DECISIONAL - For planning and discussion purposes only JRC - 4 Acquisition Strategy

• JIMO requires the best capabilities the Nation has to offer in order to meet the technology and science objectives – NASA Centers, including JPL – Industry – DOE National Laboratories – Academia – Naval Reactors – Others • Major elements will be performed by Industry – 3 study contracts (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, NGST) -- subject to “Rules of Engagement” to preserve a level playing field – Spacecraft Module and space system integration & test contract (with GFE elements) – Reactor Module contract • Mission Module will be provided by JPL • Investigations will be competed via the NASA AO process • All acquisition activities support the Independent Life Cycle Cost Analysis (ILCCA) and the target launch in 2011
