NASA Heliophysics Low-Cost Access to Space Research Proposals

NASA is seeking Heliophysics research proposals focused on low-cost access to space through its ROSES-2025 program. - Buyer: NASA Headquarters, NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD), through the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES-2025) announcement. - Opportunity: Heliophysics Low-Cost Access to Space, program element B.7. - Requested work: Research and technology proposals involving low-cost access to space; no specific products, services, quantities, or part numbers are identified. - Proposal requirements: The solicitation uses a binding two-step submission process. The anonymized central Science-Technical-Management section is limited to 20 pages. Proposals must include a separate Payload Reference Document and a Rideshare Opportunity section; science-enabling-only proposals must also include an Application of Traceability Matrix. - Evaluation and data management: NASA uses dual anonymous peer review, so the technical proposal must be anonymized. An Open Science Data Management Plan using the standard SMD template is encouraged. - Potential awards and performance: Awards may be grants or cooperative agreements. A typical period of performance is three years, with some programs allowing up to five years or specifying a shorter period. - OEMs and vendors: None are named.
