Amendment 42: E.11 Research Pathfinder for Beyond Low Earth Orbit Space Biology Investigations Official Text and Due Dates.

E.11 Research Pathfinder for Beyond Low Earth Orbit Space Biology Investigations solicits proposals for biological research experiments to be flown beyond LEO as internal payloads on the capsule of the Orion spacecraft during the upcoming Artemis II mission. To be eligible, proposals to this program element must utilize and will be limited to only one of the two following model organisms: Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) or Caenorhabditis elegans (nematode).

ROSES-2022 Amendment 42 releases official text and due dates for E.11 Research Pathfinder for Beyond Low Earth Orbit Space Biology Investigations, which was previously released as draft. Proposals to this program will be submitted by a binding two-step process in which the Notice of Intent is replaced by a mandatory Step-1 proposal that must be submitted by an organization's Authorized Organizational Representative. Only proposers who submit a Step-1 proposal are eligible to submit a Step-2 (full) proposal (see Section 4 of this program element). Step-1 proposals are due September 1, 2022, and Step-2 proposals are due October 13, 2022.

On or about August 11 2022, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022" (NNH22ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
