Amendment 59: Several Physical Science Program Elements Not Solicited This Year.

The Physical Sciences Research program aims to understand the effects of reduced gravity and the space environment on fluids, materials, soft matter, biophysics, combustion and fundamental physics. The Physical Sciences Research program conducts experiments in space, in Earth-based reduced-gravity platforms and ground facilities, and conducts computational and theoretical investigations, to advance scientific knowledge in the disciplines of physical science, and to understand the effects of gravity and the space environment on physical systems.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 59 announces that a set of Physical Sciences program elements that were TBD on release of ROSES are not solicited this year but may be solicited in ROSES-2024. These elements are:

E.3 Complex Fluids/Soft Matter Physics,

E.4 Combustion Science,

E.5 Fluid Physics, and

E.7 Materials Science.

Questions concerning any of these Physical Science programs may be directed to BPS-PhysicalSciences@nasaprs.com.

NASA-DOD Study: Saltwater to Widely Taint Coastal Groundwater by 2100

Intrusion of saltwater into coastal groundwater can make water there unusable, damage ecosystems, and corrode infrastructure. Seawater will infiltrate underground freshwater supplies in about three of every four coastal areas around the world by the year 2100, according to a recent study led by researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. In addition […]

NASA Scientific Balloon Flights to Lift Off From Antarctica

NASA’s Scientific Balloon Program has returned to Antarctica’s icy expanse to kick off the annual Antarctic Long-Duration Balloon Campaign, where two balloon flights will carry a total of nine missions to near space. Launch operations will begin mid-December from the agency’s Long Duration Balloon camp located near the U.S. National Science Foundation’s McMurdo Station on […]

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.
