SALMON-3 Amendment 17: This amendment releases modifications/revisions/additions to the common omnibus NASA Announcement of Opportunity (AO) body entitled “Third Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity Notice” (SALMON-3 NNH17ZDA004O) that includes Appendices A-H.  

 

The common SALMON-3 AO body provides a base for investigations referred to as Missions of Opportunity (MO). MOs are SALMON-3 amendments that NASA releases as a separate, i.e., a “lettered” program element appendix (PEA). Because NASA released PEAs lettered I through O prior to the issuance of Amendment number 17, these existing PEAs are not impacted by the Amendment 17 to the SALMON-3 Common AO body. PEAs released after the date of Amendment 17, however, will be subject to these changes unless otherwise specified in the PEA.

 

The full amended common SALMON-3 AO body text was released on October 22, 2019 and is available on the NSPIRES page for NNH17ZDA004. NASA made multiple changes that range from simple updates, e.g., a new point of contact for SALMON-3’s common AO body, formatting corrections, e.g., typos, etc., to complex matters related to requirements, sections and common appendices. Proposers should not rely on this email announcement of SALMON-3 AO Amendment 17, because it is not a complete or verbatim summary of the changes. Proposers must visit NSPIRES to download the SALMON-3 AO and read carefully.

 

In the event of future lapses to the NASA operations, proposers should visit NSPIRES, the official NASA source for the full SALMON-3, including all of its PEAs. NASA reserves the right not to make any additional awards or cancel this AO at any time. For the full text go to https://nspires.nasaprs.com and search on “SALMON-3″ under open solicitations.

 

Please only address comments and questions via e-mail to mailto:Michael.H.New@nasa.gov (subject line to read “SALMON-3 AO”). Responses to inquiries will be given by e-mail and when appropriate posted to the SALMON-3 AO Questions and Answers (QAs) located at https://soma.larc.nasa.gov/salmon-3/S3QAs.html. Anonymity of those who submit questions will be preserved.
