  2. Agenda • Greetings ( 5 minutes) • Background for IPSAG and connection to PhysPAG and APS (Shaul Hanany, 10 minutes) • View from NASA HQ (Rita Sambruna, 5 minutes) • PCOS Advanced Concepts and Technology Office (Jean Cottam + Jackie Townsend, 10 minutes) • Summary of pre-decadal activities + view forward (Bock, 10 minutes) • Discussion (20 minutes) • Summary of discussion + Actions (5 minutes)

  3. Background: Within NASA NASA Advisory Council Science Committee Human Exploration Aeronautics … more … Astrophysics Subcommittee Earth Science Subcommittee Heliophysics Subcommittee Planetary Sci. Subcommittee Planetary Prot. Subcommittee Physics of the Cosmos PAG1 (PHYSPAG; Ritz, UCSC) Cosmic Origins PAG1 (CORPAG; Martin, CalTech) Exoplanet PAG1 (EXOPAG; Kastings, Penn S.) Inflation Probe SAG2 Technology Roadmapping SAG2 1 PAG = Program Analysis Group 2 SAG = Science Analysis Group

  4. Background: PAGs and SAGs • PAGs: Provide technical analyses on specific topics to APS • PhysPAG: Steve Ritz (Chair) - University of California, Santa CruzJason Rhodes - Jet Propulsion LaboratoryShaul Hanany - University of MinnesotaRoger Brissenden - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for AstrophysicsLiz Hays - NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterGuido Mueller - University of FloridaRita Sambruna (Executive Secretary, Ex-Officio) - NASA HQJean Cottam (PCOS Program Office, Ex-Officio) - NASA GSFC http://pcos.gsfc.nasa.gov/physpag.php • PhysPAG meeting at American Physical Society (Annaheim), Sunday May 1, 9 am – 2 pm

  5. Background: PAGs and SAGs • SAGs and IPSAG: Facilitate the work of the PAGs • Input on issues related to Inflation Probe • Input request can originate by APS, or PAG, or recommendation for action can originate from SAG • IPSAG: continuation of PPPDT, which organized the activities of the CMB community prior to decadal panel. • http://pcos.gsfc.nasa.gov/sags/ipsag.php

  6. IPSAG Statement of Task • Review and update mission science goals following current developments in the field (e.g. Planck, sub-orbital measurements), • Review and update information about and requirements on potential foreground contaminants and their removal, • Review and update requirements on and developments in control of systematic errors, • Assess necessary technology developments and prioritize areas for increased technical emphasis. • The IPSAG work will build upon pre-New Worlds and New Horizons community and agency investments as summarized by reports from NASA’s 2009 Strategic Mission Concept Study and white papers submitted to NWNH. The IPSAG (http://pcos.gsfc.nasa.gov/ipsag.php)is established under the auspices of NASA’s Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group (PhysPAG;http://pcos.gsfc.nasa.gov/physpag.php), which reports to the Astrophysics Subcommittee. Tasks of the IPSAG include: • Updating baseline mission parameters; • Providing reports to the PhysPAG, to NASA’s Astrophysics Subcommittee, and to other relevant committees; • Maintaining contacts with European colleagues. A member of the PhysPAG will serve as the liaison with the IPSAG. Hanany, January 2011

  7. Status in Europe • Cosmic Origin Explorer (CORE) proposed to ESA as M-class (December 2010) • ~$180M in US participation over next ~10 years • Proposal ranked high on science • Not selected for Phase A study for cost and feasibility reasons http://www.core-mission.org
