Amendment 51: A.56 Sustainable Land Imaging – Technology Not Solicited This Year.

When it is solicited, the Sustainable Land Imaging – Technology (SLI-T) program seeks proposals to develop and demonstrate new measurement technologies and architectures that improve upon the Nation’s current land imaging capabilities while also reducing the overall program cost for future SLI measurements in support of the Science Mission Directorate's Earth Science Division. The SLI- T program seeks to:

  • Reduce the risk, cost, size, volume, mass, and development time for the next generation SLI instruments, while still meeting or exceeding the current land imaging program capabilities.
  • Enable new types of observations that improve the temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution of SLI measurements.
  • Enable new SLI measurements and architectures, which can improve the program’s operational efficiency and reduce the overall costs of the Nation’s land imaging capabilities.

When ROSES-2023 was released, it included A.56 Sustainable Land Imaging – Technology (SLI-T) as a TBD placeholder that said it "may" be solicited as part of ROSES-2023. ROSES-2023 Amendment 51 announces that program element A.48 WFMP will not be solicited this year. However, NASA may solicit this program element in ROSES‑2024.

Questions concerning A.56 SLI-T may be directed to Sachidananda Babu at sachidananda.r.babu@nasa.gov.

NASA Returns to Arctic Studying Summer Sea Ice Melt

What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic, and a new NASA mission is helping improve data modeling and increasing our understanding of Earth’s rapidly changing climate. Changing ice, ocean, and atmospheric conditions in the northernmost part of Earth have a large impact on the entire planet. That’s because the Arctic region acts […]

A spiral galaxy with three prominent arms wrapping around it. The galaxy holds plenty of extra gas and dark dust between the arms. There are shining blue points throughout the arms and some patches of gas out beyond the galaxy’s edge, where stars are forming. The center of the galaxy also shines brightly. It is on a dark background where some small orange dots mark distant galaxies.

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.
