Objectives

• Extend the benefits of
• Current, NASA funded research
• Next generation missions research capabilities
  (Cloudsat/Calipso, OCO, GPM, Aquarius, OSTM, NPP,
  Glory) Goal 3A
• Reach a consensus approach to rapid prototyping
• Community understanding of present needs, goals
  capabilities
• (scientists, researchers, engineers)
• Present experiments and proposed approaches to
  achieve rapidly prototyped solutions to serve as
  the foundation for future solicited projects
  (FY07 beyond) and provide potential
  enhancements/improvements to partner agency
  operational systems

A future vision
Coordinating entity tasked with managing rapid
prototyping for Applied Sciences program
activities RPC nodes conducting rapid
prototyping projects, support, processes (OSSEs,
analyses, visualization, portability,
etc.) Frequent communication venues, workshops,
retreats, etc. held to enhance, improve, empower
the applied sciences community re best
practices, future requirements, architecture,
etc. (research, academia, laboratories)

Expectations and Results

• Take experiments, information, examples, and
  approaches and begin implementing at your
  respective location
• Generate guidelines and/or a plan for our
  community of practice (CoP) to use in individual
  prototyping efforts
