NASA Town Hall on Europa Lander at AbSciCon
Sun 23 April 2017 12:30-6:00 pm
In conjunction with the 2017 Astrobiology Science Conference (AbSciCom) in Mesa, AZ, NASA will hold a "town hall" meeting to discuss the Science Definition Team (SDT) report on a mission concept for a lander for the mission to Jupiter's moon Europa.
The SDT report was released in January 2017 and NASA is seeking feedback from the science community at this town hall. (Another was held on March 19 in conjunction with Lunar and Planetary Science Conference).
This town hall will be held from 12:30-6:00 pm local time (3:30-9:00 pm Eastern) on Sunday, April 23, 2017, in the Starlight Room at the Phoenix Marriott Mesa in Mesa, AZ.
It will be available by WebEx and telecon by following these instructions as posted in the April 16, 2017 Planetary Exploration Newsletter:

Perspective of Planetary Stewardship
This week, scientists will gather at the Astrobiology Science Conference (AbSciCon) in Mesa, Arizona. A quick glance at the 63 session topics shows Europa (and other ocean worlds) will be a hot topic of discussion. And it’s easy to see why.

Earlier this month, two NASA missions gave us new insight into the icy, wet worlds of Enceladus and Europa. Enceladus stole most of the headlines, but the new data from Europa is promising. The Hubble Space Telescope found more evidence of plumes erupting from the Jupiter moon. Images captured by the telescope in 2016 show what appears to be a plume of material erupting from the moon’s surface. In the same spot a possible plume erupted in 2014.
