B.11 Heliophysics Flight Opportunities for Research and Technology (H-FORT) solicits space and sub-orbital science and science-enabling investigations that use platforms that include SmallSats (including CubeSats) and Hosted Rideshare Payloads, such as International Space Station (ISS)-attached payloads. The program encourages the development of technologies that will enable investigation of heliophysics science questions. Science investigations must demonstrate that progress can be achieved on the proposed science questions through the investigation objectives, which may include demonstration of a new technology. Science-enabling investigations that primarily demonstrate a new technology must motivate the need for this technology by including specific science questions that the new technology can address.
ROSES-2024 Amendment 22 releases final text and due dates for B.11 Heliophysics Flight Opportunities for Research and Technology (H-FORT), which was previously, TBD. Neither Notices of Intent nor Step-1 proposals are requested for this program element. Proposals are due September 20, 2024.
On or about June, 21 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024” (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024.
Questions concerning B.11 H-FORT may be directed to Amy Winebarger at amy.r.winebarger@nasa.gov and Ennio Sanchez at ennio.r.sanchez@nasa.gov.
NASA is readying for the launch of several small satellites to space, built with the help of students, educators, and researchers from across the country, as part of the agency’s CubeSat Launch Initiative. The ELaNa 43 (Educational Launch of Nanosatellites 43) mission includes eight CubeSats flying on Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha rocket for its “Noise of […]
Technicians armed with advanced measuring equipment, augmented reality headsets, and QR codes virtually checked the fit of some Roman Space Telescope structures before building or moving them through facilities at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “We’ve been able to place sensors, mounting interfaces, and other spacecraft hardware in 3D space faster and […]
Solar power is abundant – when the Sun is shining. Wind power is steady – when the wind is blowing. However, creating a steady electricity supply from intermittent power sources is a challenge. NASA was focused on this problem more than 45 years ago when the agency designed a new type of liquid battery during the […]
