Description
National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is considering multiple missions on Cubesat-class platforms to conduct technology demonstrations, which advance the technology readiness level (TRL) of these systems. Systems providing novel in-space primary propulsion as well as spacecraft to ground communication and spacecraft to spacecraft communication cross-links for Cubesats are of interest.
GSFC teams will be submitting proposals to the Edison Small Satellite Technology Demonstration (Edison) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) in May 2012.
The following is estimated based on the Edison BAA:
Proposal due May 23, 2012 Selection July 2012 (Target) Award Date September 2012 (Target)
This partnership opportunity is being issued to select teaming partners to do proposal mission studies and to help prepare the GSFC Edison candidate mission concepts for the full proposal submittal; and to provide a TRL 5 system should the mission be selected for flight.
* GSFC is interested in finding partners for micro-propulsion subsystems for Cubesat-class spacecraft.
* In addition, GSFC is also looking for communications technology that meets small spacecraft resource constraints.
For the portion of this partnership opportunity dealing with the preparation of the full Edison proposal there will be no exchange of funds between the teaming partners. Funding will be available upon selection.
