NICER is an Astrophysics Mission of Opportunity within NASA's Explorers program, which provides frequent
flight opportunities for world - class scientific investigations from space utilizing innovative, streamlined and efficient management approaches within the heliophysics and astrophysics science areas.
This,
frequent flight opportunities, and operation that enables rapid changes of science instruments and hands - on in - flight access to the instruments, assure a unique and extensive potential - both for training young instrumentalists and for encouraging and deploying nascent technologies.
By activating idle aircraft and filling unsold seats, Jump On creates
unique flight opportunities saving Jumpers up to 80 % off typical airline fares.
Although it didn't make the cut this time, the Science Programme Committee decided to maintain the mission as a possible competitor for a
future flight opportunity.
Vaquer first heard about the ESA
parabolic flight opportunity in 2002 when he was a 4th - year medical student at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
At the same time that MSSS started work on the MGS MOC in the mid-1990s, the company was developing a very small, modular camera system for future
spacecraft flight opportunities.
Additionally, you'll notice that Hawaii is included in the Central America region which can provide some clever
award flight opportunities.
That mission turned out not to be ready in time, but a lot of people wanted to continue with solar sailing, as did I, but I didn't want to spend time on it unless I had
a flight opportunity.
These in -
flight opportunities are viewed as a first comprehensive assessment of the Observatory's performance and are used to guide future development activities, as well as to identify additional Observatory upgrades.
In response, three other airlines filed proposals to use
the flight opportunity for a new daily flight of their own.
In addition, one new daytime
flight opportunity and one new nighttime flight opportunity will become available for U.S. carrier scheduled passenger services.
In 2010, DOT awarded Delta two of
those flight opportunities, one for service from Detroit and the other from Los Angeles.
