Correction to E.9 Space Biology Research

E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies solicits proposals for ground-based plant or animal studies (and/or their associated microbes) that will characterize the responses of these organisms to conditions that recapitulate the stressors encountered in space exploration, specifically, exposure to lunar regolith (simulant).

January 5, 2023. A small change was made to the phrasing in Section 2.3.2 of E.9 Space Biology Research about the timing of the release of the details for requests for access to genuine lunar regolith. New text is in bold, deleted text is struck through. The due dates remain unchanged: Step-1 proposals are due February 1, 2023, and Step-2 proposals are due April 25, 2023.

Questions concerning E.9 Space Biology: Research Studies may be directed to Sharmila Bhattacharya at spacebiology@nasaprs.com.

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.
