- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released asolicitation, entitled Announcement of Flight Opportunities (AFO) for Payloads MaturingCrosscutting Technologies that Advance Multiple Future Space Missions to Flight ReadinessStatus. Applications are due on or before May 11, 2012 and selections will be announced by July2012. The solicitation is available by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepageat 'http://nspires.nasaprs.com,' selecting 'Solicitations,' then selecting 'OpenSolicitations,' and, finally, selecting 'NOCT110.' NASA's Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) seeks to mature towards flight readinessstatus crosscutting technologies that perform relevant environment testing and advancemultiple future space missions. To facilitate this goal, NASA is providing access tocertain flight opportunities available to the Agency, on a no-exchange-of funds basis, toentities that have technology payloads meeting specified criteria. They may be exposed toa near-zero or reduced gravity environment on high-altitude balloons, flying on aircraftthat provide parabolic flight trajectories and on suborbital reusable launch vehicles(sRLVs) that are potentially capable of flying to altitudes above 100 km. Refer tohttps://flightopportunities.nasa.gov/platforms for specific information on vehicle andflight characteristics. This call is open to all individuals and organizations, U.S. and non-U.S. Suchorganizations may include educational institutions, industry, nonprofit organizations,Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, NASA Centers, the Jet PropulsionLaboratory (JPL), other Government agencies, and partnerships between such entities.
