LBA-ECO Exit PlanLBA-ECO Exit Plan
From December 17, 2004, until property transfer to Brazil is complete, only teams witha CNPq license and a NASA-funded investigator will be able to use NASA property,infrastructure, and resources for field data collection (unless the Implementing Arrangementis renewed). However, all Phase 2 LBA-ECO teams can continue to use NASA providedresources for takedown/transition/shipping activities in early 2005.
Dismantling of scientific sites and offices supported by LBA-ECO that are not otherwise in use byteams with CNPq licenses will continue through 2005.
Visas
NASA’s property department will allow us to transfer property to Brazilian institutions, either Permanently or on a long-term loan basis.
