Venture Class within the NASA Earth Science Division
• We can do it!• It’s an experiment to get hardware to space at a
lower cost.• Industry likes that we are doing it!

Why TEMPO for EVI-1?
• I can’t tell you ALL the reasons!• I am not permitted to debrief proposers on all the
programmatic discussions on each proposal.• But I can say some things (most are obvious)
• The reviews suggest relatively low risk, both from science and from TMC.
• The agency does like the hosted payload approach idea!
• The science was sufficiently compelling!

Where Does TEMPO go from here?
• Through a boat load of reviews!• Get to know NPR 7120.5E! It is your friend!
• The next step is to go through the Systems Requirement Review (SRR) before it goes to the KDP-B DPMC.
• Can anyone name these acronyms?• Acronyms are your friend in NASA!
• Get to know your Program Scientist(s) and Program Executive.
• Mitra Dutta could not be here.• Alex Pszenny will be assuming more and more of
the TEMPO PS duties

Next phases of Earth Venture
• The next Earth Venture Suborbital (EVS-2) is open now with proposals not due until January
• The next Earth Venture Instrument (EVI-2) draft is available. The final version will be out VERY soon with proposals due exactly 3 months later.
• The next Earth Venture Mission (EVM-2) will have it’s draft available ~18 months from now, budget willing.
