ROSES-25 Amendment 3: PRISM Updated Text and Schedule

24 July 2025

Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon

Updated Text and Schedule

This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Lunar Discovery and Exploration Program (LDEP) intends to solicit for a suite of lunar science and technology instruments via ROSES-25 program element F.10 Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon (PRISM) once it is released as final text. NASA is not obligated to issue this ROSES program element to solicit those proposals. Any costs incurred by prospective investigators in preparing submissions in response to this planned PRISM program element are incurred completely at the submitter's own risk.

F.10 PRISM will seek investigations that address the science goals of 1) any SMD division, e.g., Planetary Science, Earth Science, Heliophysics, Astrophysics, and Biological and Physical Sciences, 2) objectives of the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate (ESDMD), and 3) any technology demonstration goals of the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) that advance capabilities for science, exploration, or commercial development of the Moon. Proposals must be science driven, with some technology demonstration, development, and/or maturation within the proposed project is allowed, as long as proposed instrument suites are focused primarily on science investigations and the technology demonstrations and exploration investigations support those science investigations.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 3 greatly expands the TBD placeholder text for F.10 PRISM and provides an estimated schedule.

On or about July 21 2025, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025" (NNH25ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/

Questions may be addressed to Ryan Watkins, Exploration Science Strategy and Integration Office (ESSIO) Program Scientist at: HQ-PRISM@mail.nasa.gov.

Against a black background, a peculiar galaxy is in the center and takes up most of the frame. This asymmetrical object has distorted spiral arms that extend to the left, above, and to the lower right. The galaxy’s arms are light orange and are not smooth or solid in texture, instead resembling blots and streaks of paint. The galaxy’s distorted spiral arms are overlaid by a light blue ridge of blurry blotches, which are brightest and heaviest in the center and fainter toward the left, ending before the orange areas. The blue blotches also extend to the bottom at the center and faintly toward the top center, but are not seen toward the right. A bright, almost-white orange point is near the center right and has a hazy halo surrounding it, taking up about a tenth of the image. Over the majority of the image is a semi-transparent, elliptical-shaped area that has a white, fuzzy glow.
