Amendment 76: New Opportunity: D.19 Critical Technologies for Large Telescopes

D.19 Critical Technologies for Large Telescopes solicits proposals to carry out a two-year Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) critical technologies maturation development program. These critical technologies include system approaches to ultra-stability and integrated coronagraphs that advance the design maturity, e.g., Technology Readiness Level of components and system, and identify future technology investments. These advancements will enable HWO maturation and implementation strategies.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 76 presents a new program element in ROSES-2023: D.19 Critical Technologies for Large Telescopes. No Notices of Intent are requested. Proposals are due April 3, 2024. Awards will be firm-fixed-price contracts. Only for-profit U.S. organizations are eligible to submit proposals, but there are no restrictions on the types of organizations that may participate as subawardees. No Open Science and Data Management Plan is requested.

Questions concerning D.19 Critical Technologies for Large Telescopes may be directed to Mario Perez at mario.perez@nasa.gov.

What is BioSentinel?

Editor’s Note: This article was updated Nov. 20, 2024 shortly after BioSentinel’s mission marked two years of operation in deep space. Astronauts live in a pretty extreme environment aboard the International Space Station. Orbiting about 250 miles above the Earth in the weightlessness of microgravity, they rely on commercial cargo missions about every two months to deliver new […]

In this illustration, an exploding star powers jets of material. The star is shown as an almost flower-like shape. The purple �petals� represent clouds of material created in the explosion. The bluish-white and yellow center shows where the newly formed black hole begins driving the jets. The core of the jet pointed toward us is whitish and the broader regions are magenta. In the distance, on the far side of the star, you can see the opposite side of the jet disappearing into space.

NASA Ocean World Explorers Have to Swim Before They Can Fly

In a competition swimming pool, engineers tested prototypes for a futuristic mission concept: a swarm of underwater robots that could look for signs of life on ocean worlds. When NASA’s Europa Clipper reaches its destination in 2030, the spacecraft will prepare to aim an array of powerful science instruments toward Jupiter’s moon Europa during 49 […]
