NASA Seeks Proposals to Develop Capabilities for Deep
Space Exploration, Journey to Mars
NASA is soliciting proposals for concept studies or technology development
projects that will be necessary to enable human pioneers to go to deep space
destinations such as an asteroid and Mars.
Through a Broad Area Announcement (BAA) NASA released today, the agency seeks
to use public-private partnerships to share funding to develop advanced
propulsion, habitation and small satellite capabilities that will enable the
pioneering of space. Public-private partnerships of this type help NASA
stimulate the U.S. space industry while working to expand the frontiers of
knowledge, capabilities and opportunities in space.
NASA intends to engage partners to help develop and build a set of
sustainable, evolvable, multi-use space capabilities that will enable human
pioneers to go to deep space destinations. Developing capabilities in three key
areas – advanced propulsion, habitation, and small satellites deployed from the
Space Launch System – is critical to enabling the next step for human
spaceflight. This work will use the proving ground of space around the moon to
develop technologies and advance knowledge to expand human exploration into the
solar system.
State-of-the-art solar electric propulsion technology currently employed by
NASA generates less than five kilowatts. The Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) BAA
selected proposals for concepts developing systems in the 40-kilowatt range.
NASA now is seeking to advance the technology to 50- to 300-kilowatt systems to
meet the needs of a variety of mission concepts.
Orion is the first component of human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and
will be capable of sustaining a crew of four for 21 days in deep space and
returning them safely to Earth. NASA seeks proposals for concept studies,
technology investigation, and concepts of operations to enable extended space
habitation as the next foundational cornerstone of a future deep space transit
capability.
The studies will help define the architecture and subsystems of a modular
habitation capability, which will be used to augment planned missions around the
moon as well as to provide initial operations and testing in the proving ground
for future systems in support of human exploration in deep space. Studies can
address transportation, habitation, operations or environmental capabilities of
a habitation system.
This BAA also provides for the selection of proposals for the development and
delivery of small satellite missions that address strategic knowledge gaps for
future human exploration. Selected small satellites, known as cubesats, will fly
as secondary payload missions on Exploration Mission-1. The mission provides a
rare opportunity to boost these cubesats to deep space and enable science,
technology demonstration, exploration or commercial applications in that
environment.
Through awards from this BAA, NASA’s goal is to accomplish both near-term
missions and sustained investments in technologies and capabilities to address
the challenges of deep space exploration. Because capabilities and technologies
developed through these awards will have significant potential commercial
applications, NASA expects partners to contribute significant resources.
Eligible applicants from U.S. companies, non-profit organizations, and
international institutions must submit proposals electronically by 4:30 p.m. EST
Dec. 12. BAA awards are subject to the availability of funding. NASA may not
make any awards until the agency receives fiscal year 2015 appropriations, or
may choose to award only in specific areas and reserve the remaining awards
pending final appropriations for the fiscal year.
