Description

The Propulsion Systems Utilizing Green Propellant Alternatives to Hydrazine is proposed to demonstrate new technologies capabilities, offer clear infusion potential into future NASA missions, and capture significant public interest and awareness.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT) has released a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA NNM12ZZP03K) for the Technology Demonstration Mission (TDM). The OCT conducts Principal Investigator (PI)-led space technology missions. The BAA has one focus Propulsion Systems Utilizing Green Propellant Alternatives to Hydrazine, the subject of this POD. Schedule (dates are subject to change): BAA release February 8, 2012 Notice of Intent due date March 2, 2012 Proposals due date April 30, 2012 Selection date July 2012 Award Date (ATP) August 2012 End of operations ATP +3 years

This partnership opportunity is being issued to select partners to perform a technology demonstration of green propellants, a general name for a family of propellants (liquid, solid, mono- or bi-propellants, and hybrids) which offer safer handling conditions and lower environmental impact.

There will be no exchange of funds between the teaming partners for preparation of the proposal during the proposal cycle. Funding will be available in the event the proposal is competitively selected.
