NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD)/Earth Science Division (ESD) periodically conducts reviews of on-orbit missions in extended operations to maximize the scientific return of the Earth Science mission fleet within finite resources, a process called the Senior Review for Extension of Earth Science Operating Missions. NASA uses the findings from these reviews to define an implementation strategy and give programmatic direction and budgetary guidelines to the missions and projects concerned for the next 6 fiscal years (matching the Federal government's budget planning cycle). This Senior Review 2020 for Extension of Earth Science Operating Missions (2020 ESD Senior Review) call describes the objectives and process for the review, including the scope, schedule and evaluation criteria, the 2020 ESD Senior Review panels, and provides instructions for the preparation and submission of proposals and in-person presentations to the review panel.
