[Ect_cois] Fwd: FW: Van Allen Probes Mission Success

[Harlan Spence]

Dear ECT Colleagues,

    It is my pleasure to pass along this milestone moment from NASA HQ, 
namely, the official HQ assessment of Van Allen Probes' mission success. 
  Thank you all for your important contributions to the mission and for 
your part in communicating the exciting discoveries and results!  I look 
forward with anticipation to even greater discoveries in the weeks, 
months, and years ahead of the mission.  Go RBSP (I mean Van Allen 
Probes)!  ;-)

Thanks again,
- Harlan

Barry, David, and all Van Allen Probes team members,

Congratulations! Van Allen Probes is now considered as having achieved
Mission Success! (see attached document) Everyone has worked hard to get
to this goal and should take a few moments to share this with your team
and pat each other on the back. Thanks to David Sibeck for pulling this
document together.

The mission has passed another hurdle, but we don't stop here.  There is
much more data to gather, analysis to be done, understanding to be
gained, and mysteries to be solved. The JGR special issue will highlight
even more great science so that is the next goal, and it ends the
nominal two-year prime phase on a high note. Bridge funding will see the
project through preparations for the Senior review and planning for
extended phase science.

But that is for the future. Congratulations now on a job well done.

Best wishes,
Mona
