PREPUBLICATION COPY – SUBJECT TO FURTHER EDITORIAL CORRECTION vi EMBARGOED FROM PUBLIC RELEASE UNTIL AUGUST 7 Preface In spring 2011 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine produced a report outlining the next decade in planetary sciences. That report, titled Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022, and popularly referred to as the “decadal survey,” has provided high- level prioritization and guidance for NASA’s Planetary Science Division. Other considerations, such as budget realities, congressional language in authorization and appropriations bills, administration requirements, and cross-division and cross-directorate requirements (notably in retiring risk or providing needed information for the human program) are also necessary inputs to how NASA develops its planetary science program. In 2016 NASA asked the National Academies to undertake a study assessing NASA’s progress at meeting the objectives of the decadal survey. After the study was underway, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 which called for NASA to engage the National Academies in a review of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. NASA and the Academies agreed to incorporate that review into the midterm study. That study has produced this report, which serves as a midterm assessment and provides guidance on achieving the goals in the remaining years covered by the decadal survey as well as preparing for the next decadal survey, currently scheduled to begin in 2020.

    Draft version January 3, 2020 Typeset using LATEX default style in AASTeX61 SIZE AND SHAPE CONSTRAINTS OF (486958) ARROKOTH FROM STELLAR OCCULTATIONS Marc W. Buie,1 Simon B. Porter,1 et al. 1Southwest Research Institute 1050 Walnut St., Suite 300, Boulder, CO 80302 USA To be submitted to Astronomical Journal, Version 1.1, 2019/12/30 ABSTRACT We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detections of the body, and all constrained the presence of rings and other debris, finding none. Twenty-five mobile stations were deployed for 2017 June 3 and augmented by fixed telescopes. There were no positive detections from this effort. The event on 2017 July 10 was observed by SOFIA with one very short chord. Twenty-four deployed stations on 2017 July 17 resulted in five chords that clearly showed a complicated shape consistent with a contact binary with rough dimensions of 20 by 30 km for the overall outline. A visible albedo of 10% was derived from these data. Twenty-two systems were deployed for the fourth event on 2018 Aug 4 and resulted in two chords. The combination of the occultation data and the flyby results provides a significant refinement of the rotation period, now estimated to be 15.9380 ± 0.0005 hours. The occultation data also provided high-precision astrometric constraints on the position of the object that were crucial for supporting the navigation for the New Horizons flyby. This work demonstrates an effective method for obtaining detailed size and shape information and probing for rings and dust on distant Kuiper Belt objects as well as being an important source of positional data that can aid in spacecraft navigation that is particularly useful for small and distant bodies.

Credit: E. Whitman. Maryland, during the last week of 2018, many of us reflected back on a similar gathering three-and-a-half years earlier. In the summer of 2015, we all came together on a voyage of exploration to the planet Pluto and its moons. At that time, we didn’t know very much about our target, and this time we knew even less about “Ultima Thule,” a small, lonely 30-kilometer- wide object known as 2014 MU69 that was orbiting the Sun almost half a billion kilometers beyond Pluto. Unlike what we knew about Pluto, we did not even know Ultima Thule’s surface composition, its shape, or even the length of its day. We knew Ultima Thule was much smaller than — and hence would be a very different beast from — Pluto. So as the New Horizons team arrived at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, to watch and enjoy the encounter sequence play out, we were completely in the dark. The only clues we had were stellar occultation observations of Ultima Thule from Argentina in 2017 that indicated it was elongate and might have either two separate or contacting lobes.

  • Space Telescope User's Committee Report
    Space Telescope User’s Committee Report: Oct 2013 STUC Attendees: Marc Buie; Yo-Hua Chu; Annette Ferguson (Chair); Chris Howk; Giampaolo Piotto; Andrea Prestwich; Brian Siana (remote); David Sing; Ann ZabludoFF (remote) Meeting Dates: Oct 17/18 2013 Preamble: The STUC noted that this is a very good and stable period For the observatory, with instruments and operations running smoothly and eFFiciently. There is high scientific productivity (in part due to the Multi-Cycle Treasury and Frontier Fields programs), almost record demand For telescope time and exciting prospects For a continued role of HST in the JWST era (the “Hubble 2020 Vision”). The STUC heard of the potential for overlap in WFIRST AFTA and JWST operations; this was considered to be very desirable given the strong synergy of the two missions. Due to the recent government shutdown (which ended Oct 16), there were no presentations From staFF at GSFC. The effort made by several GSFC scientists to attend the meeting at short notice was much appreciated. The Frontier Fields Program: The First observations For the Frontier Fields program were taken during the meeting oF the STUC. The committee was impressed with the speed and organization oF the Frontier Field implementation, especially the timely release oF magniFication maps, as well as tools and inFormation For their use. The Institute should make a concerted eFFort to communicate relevant developments to the interested community, as there will surely be a lot oF interest. There is some concern that no organized eFFort is planned to assess the merit oF the various magniFication maps, which would aid the community in using them in a consistent and/or correct manner.
