with NASA's current portfolio of future space science missions and/or
conceptual mission ideas that were presented to the National Research Council's
(NRC's) Committee on Science Opportunities Enabled by NASA's Constellation
System during the spring of 2008. These notional missions include
observatories designed to operate in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), at Geosynchronous
Earth Orbit (GEO), and at Earth-Sun Lagrangian points L1 and L2. All
responses submitted in response to this RFI must be submitted in electronic
form via NSPIRES, the NASA online announcement data management system,
