Opportunity Information: Apply for NNH10ZDA006J
NASA's Science Mission Directorate is set to announce a new opportunity for the Discovery Program, aimed at selecting two to three principal investigator-led space science investigations. The announcement is expected to occur no earlier than June 2010. Selected investigations will enter a nine-month Phase A concept study, with the potential for one to progress to later phases.
Key changes from the previous draft include:
- Approval of medium and high-performance launch vehicles with 4m fairings, with associated costs currently under assessment. - Missions must align with three designated launch vehicles: Atlas V, Delta IV, and Falcon 9. - New minimum requirements for technology infusion cost incentives will be documented in the Program Library. - Fixed costs for NEPA, NLSA, and nuclear launch services for ASRG-using missions will be set at $20 million. - Clarifications regarding telecommunications bandwidth for missions, specifying limits for X band at Mars. - Martian surface missions will not need the Electra lite UHF radio package but must still be compatible with the existing UHF relay network. - The latest allowable Launch Readiness Date (LRD) is now December 31, 2017.
Important dates for the solicitation schedule include the release of the final Announcement of Opportunity, the pre-proposal conference, proposal due dates, and selection timelines, all targeting 2011 and 2012. Prospective proposers are encouraged to closely monitor updates on the Discovery Program's website and to understand that this notification does not guarantee the issuance of the AO. Queries can be directed to Dr. Michael New at NASA.Apply for NNH10ZDA006J
