Amendment 26: Artemis III Deployed Instruments Final Text and Due Dates.

F.12 Artemis III Deployed Instruments (A3DI) solicits 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 26 releases the final text and due dates for F.12 Artemis III Deployed Instruments, which was previously released as draft. Step-1 proposals are due June 30, 2023, and Step-2 proposals are due August 31, 2023.

A brief summary of the changes between draft and final are given in the bold notice at the top of the program element text. The FAQ posted under other documents on the NSPIRES page for this program element has been updated.

A Pre-proposal Conference is scheduled for June 14, 2023, and a BPS Virtual Workshop is scheduled for June 9, 2023; see Section 3.5 for more information.

On or about May 30, 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 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2023/

Questions or comments concerning the F.12 A3DI may be directed to Ryan Watkins and Amanda Nahm at HQ-ArtemisInstruments@mail.nasa.gov.

A close-up of a spiral galaxy, seen face-on. Its center is a bright white point, surrounded by a large yellowish oval with thin lines of dust swirling in it. From the sides of the oval emerge two bright spiral arms which wind through the round disk of the galaxy, filled with shining pink spots where stars are forming and more dark reddish dust. Many stars are visible in the foreground, over and around the galaxy.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Reaches Top of Jezero Crater Rim

The road ahead will be even more scientifically intriguing, and probably somewhat easier-going, now that the six-wheeler has completed its long climb to the top. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has crested the top of Jezero Crater’s rim at a location the science team calls “Lookout Hill” and rolling toward its first science stop after the […]

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.
