NASA has temporarily suspended all meetings and activities of its planetary science analysis assessment groups, effective immediately. The decision was made in response to presidential actions that require the agency’s review and compliance.
According to a memo from the NASA Science Mission Directorate, the pause will apply to groups including ExMAG, LEAG, MAPSIT, MEPAG, MExAG, OPAG, OWWG, SBAG, VEXAG, and any other affiliated groups. The move aims to ensure the agency’s continued compliance with these actions.
The pause affects planetary science analysis assessment groups, which were previously active in evaluating scientific data and providing recommendations for future missions and research.
