Light-weighted Primary Mirror and Mount Assembly for the Gondola for High-Altitude Planetary Science Optical Telescope Assembly
Deadline: March 6, 2017
This Request for Proposal (RFP) notice is issued by NASA/MSFC for developing anoptical telescope assembly (OTA) for use on the Gondola for High Altitude Planetary Science (GHAPS), a re-suable balloon-borne stratospheric astronomical observatory. The telescope consists of several components, including the primary and secondary mirrors, mirror support systems, optical metering structure, light baffles, thermal sensing and control components, and focusing mechanism.This procurement is a full and open competition.
Remote Sensing of Water Quality
Deadline: March 8, 2017
NASA solicits projects that improve remote sensing capability of water quality. While proposed “field campaigns” are acceptable, proposers are encouraged to keep their efforts small and targeted to the specific work proposed. NASA may seek to leverage all the funded investigations and investigators to help generate a plan for a larger field campaign that would collect a much larger set of environmental descriptors.
Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science
Deadline: March 31, 2017
This program element solicits proposals that advance the goals and objectives of NASA’s Earth Science Division by conducting unique research to investigate 1) unforeseen or unpredictable Earth system events and opportunities that require rapid response, and 2) novel new ideas of potential high merit and relevance for ESD science that have not otherwise been solicited by NASA in the past three years.
Topical Workshops, Symposia, and Conferences
Deadline: March 31, 2017
This program element solicits proposals for topical workshops, symposia, conferences, and other scientific/technical meetings (herein referred to as “events”) that advance the goals and objectives of only the following SMD Divisions: Earth Science, Heliophysics, and Planetary Science.
