I'm not sure exactly which forum this fits in but NASA has just released the AO for Discovery Program 2006 and Missions of Opportunity. See the Discovery Program Acquisition Home Page for more details. Click on the "Discovery AO" link to download the PDF.

Yeah, these downselects are notoriously unpredictable, which, I guess, is a good thing from a fairness standpoint. Now whether the selections will make any sense is another matter
![]() I, too, think some sort of Venus proposal could make the cut. However, I wouldn't be surprised if a cometary/asteroid mission(s) is/are selected, especially given Stardust's success, the CONTOUR failure, the partial failure of Hayabusa, and the descope, near-death of Dawn. Having said that, nothing would surprise me at this point, except, of course, another round of non-selections, as happened with the previous Discovery AO. |
