Current Summaries of Discovery Candidate Missions

Jim Adams, Deputy Director for NASA's Planetary Science Division made a presentation on May 10 with summaries of the three recently selected Discovery mission candidates.  Unlike much of the information available on these proposals which is often two or more years old, these summaries should reflect the current state of the proposals. 

You can read the entire presentation at http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/docs/Adams%20PPS%2005102011.pdf.  The one slide summaries of the missions begin on slide 12.  Double click on the images to read the full slides.

  1. How capable is the IDC on GEMS? I'm thinking in terms of it being able to at least characterize the landings site. Are we talking MER hazcam or navcam here?
