Call for proposals of new HALO missions (2019-2022)

The HALO-WLA and the DFG-SPP coordinators call for HALO mission proposals for the time period 2019-2022. Decisions will be made after a two-stage selection procedure.

Step A: Submission of draft proposals, until 1 June 2016

Complete the HALO flight request form (feasibility) and submit it together with a concise (3 pages maximum) scientific project outline, which should contain:

• Topic, mission PI
• Scientific rationale
• Objectives
• Coarse work program

Please send your draft proposal and the completed flight request form to Helmut Ziereis (until 1 June 2016).

The flight request form should be sent in parallel to Katrin Witte (asap).

Step B: Evaluation

A colloquium with invited international reviewers will be held in Leipzig on 19-21 September 2016. During the colloquium the mission PIs will present and defend their cases.
