Amendment 15: Draft Artemis III Deployed Instruments for Community Comment.

When it is released in its final form, F.12 Artemis III Deployed Instruments (A3DI) will solicit both standalone instruments and instrument suites to conduct high-priority science investigations that can be uniquely accomplished by human deployment of payloads on the surface of the Moon during Artemis III. Deployed instruments consist of autonomous instrument packages installed on the lunar surface by astronauts during extravehicular activities (EVAs). Proposed deployed instruments must address one or more of the scientific objectives outlined in the Artemis III Science Definition Team (SDT) Report. NASA encourages the development of instruments that can address more than one measurement need and/or science investigation. Proposals must include:

  • Expected science results from the investigation;
  • Instrument concept of operations, including why crew are needed for deployment, how the instrument is to be deployed, any special requirements for deployment (i.e., positioning, surface slope, etc.), an estimate of the crew time needed for deployment, and an overview of the real-time ground-based science support needed to deploy the instrument during EVA;
  • Resource requirements for the proposed investigation including cost, mass, volume, power, telemetry, data transfer need, astronaut interaction, etc.;
  • Demonstration of adherence to basic safety requirements and human factors design.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 15 releases a DRAFT of F.12 Artemis III Deployed Instruments for community comment. Comments are due by May 17, 2023.

On or about April 17, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023" (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023.

Questions or comments concerning the DRAFT of F.12 ADI may be directed to Ryan Watkins and Amanda Nahm at HQ-ArtemisInstruments@mail.nasa.gov.

Studying Combustion and Fire Safety

Research on the International Space Station is helping scientists to understand how fire spreads and behaves in different environments and learn how to prevent and extinguish fires in space. Combustion investigations contribute to the safety of crew members, equipment, and spacecraft by guiding selection of spacecraft cabin materials, improving understanding of fire growth, and identifying […]

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.
