Abstract
Measurements on astronomical survey data are the link between scientific questions and scientific findings that help to answer these questions. In acknowledgement of their importance, NASA requires proposers to specify what measurements their space mission concept can make and what physical properties or processes can be derived from those measurements. NASA is now requiring a plan for actually making these measurements and how they will be made available in useable form to astronomical community. We will explore the benefits and issues involved in having a NASA mission take responsibility for making and distributing astronomical measurements. We use as a case study the NASA Probe mission concept, CETUS (Cosmic Evolution Through UV Surveys) posted at arXiv:1909.10437.
