The Mapping and Planetary Spatial Infrastructure Team (MAPSIT) supports NASA in aspects of spatial data analysis and associated infrastructure. MAPSIT seeks to support the planetary spatial data community and communicates its needs to NASA via the Planetary Science Advisory Committee (PAC).
The MAPSIT has announced several openings on the steering committee for “at-large” members.
The MAPSIT steering committee meets approximately monthly in a virtual setting and once a year in person. Visit the website for more information: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/mapsit/
Members at-large usually volunteer for a period of up to 3 years, but additional years of service are possible through mutual agreement. We are accepting applications from candidates until December 3, 2024, with the goal of having new members begin service in early 2025.
All interested candidates, at any career stage, are encouraged to apply. Applications should consist of a professional CV and a 1-page letter or statement describing your interest, relevant experience, and expected contributions to the committee.
Please send your application materials to the MAPSIT chair, Dr. Julie Stopar (stopar[at]lpi.usra.edu). For questions, please contact the MAPSIT chair.
