D.7 Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT) is designed to support the maturation of key technologies for which feasibility has already been demonstrated (i.e., TRL 3), for potential infusion in spaceflight missions (TRL 6). ROSES-2025 Amendment 56 releases final text and due dates for D.6 APRA and D.7 SAT. For D.6 APRA Mandatory Notices of Intent are due June 25, 2026, and proposals are due August 6, 2026. For D.7 SAT Notices of Intent are requested by June 25, 2026, and proposals are due August 6, 2026.

On or about May 8, 2026, 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/ROSES2025and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.
