NASA STMD Announces Request for Information: On Enabling Industry Efforts for Space Nuclear Systems and Capabilities
The Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) Request for Information “On Enabling Industry Efforts for Space Nuclear Systems and Capabilities” is available via the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) at https://nspires.nasaprs.com by searching on solicitation number 80HQTR22ZOA3L_SNPP or via the link provided below. This STMD RFI does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will take action in this matter.
NASA invites industry to submit responses to this RFI to assist the Agency in analyzing the feasibility of paths to facilitate private sector investment in space nuclear systems and capabilities development for potential use on future government and commercial space missions. Private sector investment may include, but may not be limited to, nuclear systems and capabilities in direct support of human missions and exploration activities. NASA also invites responses that identify other important areas of private-sector interests associated with space nuclear technology developments or applications that may be outside programmed investment, otherwise not directly addressed in the RFI, or considered important to private-sector alignment.
Respondents are requested to focus on and provide responses to some or all the questions presented in Section 5.0 of the RFI.
Responses to this RFI are due October 15, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically using NSPIRES at https://nspires.nasaprs.com/. Any questions to this RFI may be submitted to STMDRFI@nasaprs.com at any time before the due date for responses.
STMD is seeking responses not to exceed 20 pages, and should be uploaded as a single PDF file attachment not to exceed 10MB at the NSPIRES website (https://nspires.nasaprs.com).
