From today's #LPSC #NASA briefing: #AI will play a role even in #Artemis ... The two cited abstracts on the #LunarFoundationModel are https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/1930954 and https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/1929889

A second #LPSC NASA briefing today dealt mostly with planetary science funding details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8-enBzNwlo

Also from the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the science riding along on #ArtemisII - I think "verbal descriptions" of the Moon haven't been defined science objectives since the Apollo days.

From the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the four American robotic #Moon landings planned for this year - the Blue Origin HLS demonstrator for #Artemis should go first, as early as next month. (There is a little #VIPER looking at the latter because this homeless rover might fly on a second demonstrator - if they can figure out how to get it from the 8 meters high lander to the surface.)

... I show the new thing: the LEV-1 hopping rover for SLIM, rover turning marks at Chandrayaan 3, a row of bounce pits for Chandrayaan 2, the remarkable footpad gouges at IM-2 Athena's site. I point out that the new imaging service from Firefly, Ocula, will equal this and we need to get those images into PDS. Later I will give a link to the full size poster.

Slight change of plan - tomorrow the lunar site selection begins. Today, a preview of my LPSC poster. I compare LROC-NAC and OHRC images of some landing sites - OHRC has 4x the resolution of typical LROC-NAC images at the moment. At first NAC had a resolution of 50 cm/pixel from 50 km but now it is at 100 km the resolution is about 1 m/pixel, worse at slant range very near the pole. So OHRC gives more detail, and where it shows something significant...

The number of abstracts submitted to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC) this year is down by almost 50% when compared to normal years.
It's hard to say what is the main cause, but big factors are Europeans who don't want to travel to the US, reductions of US research budgets, censorship of abstracts, and just your average hatred of Texas.

If you are unhappy about the decision by LPI/USRA to censor #LPSC abstracts, please consider signing this open letter:

A french researcher going to the #LPSC conference outside of Houston wasn't allowed to enter the US. After a "random" control at the border, the police searched their phone and computer and found compromising statements about Trump.

From the #LPSC 'NASA Night' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns4sVQ81DiI a list of the next #CLPS missions: NASA will have more Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies (SCALPSS) on #BlueOrigin's HLS test lander. They also reported superb results from #BlueGhost with 6 of the NASA experiments already completed and the remainder being done once the hot noon is over. Not much came out of #Athena, obviously, and they're still trying to make contact with the Lunar Trailblazer - no indication of the hope level ...

The science team for NASA's New Horizons mission to the Kuiper Belt shares the latest findings on #Pluto's geology, the origins of a snowman-shaped object called Arrokoth, and coming attractions of cosmic proportions: https://cosmiclog.com/2023/03/14/pluto-team-updates-science-from-the-solar-systems-edge/ #Space #LPSC

Pluto team updates science from the solar system’s edge
Nearly eight years after its historic Pluto flyby, NASA’s New Horizons probe is getting ready for another round of observations made from the icy edge of the solar system — and this time, its field of view will range from Uranus and Neptune to the cosmic

@simonbp This year #LPSC is calling the #microbloggers "Ambassadors". Of the 18 Ambassadors, here are the number of social media accounts:
Twitter: 15

Its official. #PlanetaryScientists did not migrate to mastodon. The first day of the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference is almost over and there are only about 5 posts on #mastodon, but hundreds on the site owned, run and censored by a sociopathic LGBTQ+phobe (among other things). Apparently, its business as usual for early career scientists that use social modia. 😞 #LPSC #LPSC2023

The Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC) has been held in #Texas since 1970 when the first results from the #Apollo11 mission were presented. This year will be the last in Texas, and the organizers are searching for a new location.
This abstract "Ethics in choosing a meeting location" describes some of the issues that should be considered. "Is Texas safe for all members of our community? Unfortunately, the answer in 2023 is NO, they are not."

No Haiku's but two #LPSC abstracts submitted!
#1651 is on some work I'm doing to understand features in the volcanic floor units in Jezero.
#1668 is on some exciting open GIS standards that will help with cloud-computing-native PSDI!
