U.S. participation in the Chandrayaan-1 Mission is described in the Moon Mineralogy Mapper Investigation Discovery 2004 Mission of Opportunity Proposal, dated July 8, 2004. This appendix describes the responsibilities of Brown University, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Appendix J.5, Compliance with U.S. Export Laws and Regulations, discusses the processes, products and responsible participants for compliance with ITAR and EAR.

The ISRO will implement the Chandrayaan-1 Mission. The Mission will launch in March 2008 and conduct remote sensing during the 2-year mission 100 km above the lunar surface. Based upon a white paper presented to ISRO in March 2004, ISRO selected the Brown University PI lead, JPL managed Moon Mineralogy Mapper Instrument and Investigation as one of the science payload instruments on Chandrayaan-1. This selection is contingent upon NASA selecting, developing and delivering the M3 Instrument to ISRO for integration on their spacecraft. ISRO allocated spacecraft resources (power, mass, data bandwidth, mechanical envelope, and location) for the Instrument, and we are easily accommodated by those resource allocations. The participation by M3 on the Chandrayaan-1 Mission is on a "no-exchange-of-funds" basis. |

JPL will provide Instrument hardware development and analysis, testing, support to integrate the Instrument with the spacecraft, and support Instrument operations during Phase E. JPL's responsibilities include:
- Provide day-to-day management and coordination of the U.S. portion by the JPL Instrument Project Manager, including monitoring and reporting technical progress and financial status and performing the critical reviews - a System Requirements Review, a Preliminary Design Review, a Critical Design Review, a Pre-ship Readiness Review, and an Operations Readiness Review.
- Design, analyze, build and test the M3 Instrument for launch on the ISRO launch vehicle and operations in the lunar orbit environment.
- Deliver the M3 Instrument for integration with the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, support the Instrument integration and test at the spacecraft and space vehicle levels.
- Support the operations of the Instrument during Phase E and manage science data archiving, Level 1 processing and distribution to the PI lead Science Team.
