Amendment 37: DRAFT F.11 Stand-Alone Landing Site-Agnostic Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon released for community comment.

When it is released as final text, F.11 Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon: Stand Alone Landing Site Agnostic (PRISM SALSA) will solicit proposals for investigations that include development and flight of science-driven payloads to be delivered to the lunar surface by the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS). This PRISM opportunity is for science investigations that are stand-alone (i.e., single instruments rather than suites) and location agnostic.

To be relevant the primary purpose of the proposed investigation must address SMD's objectives for the Moon. However, investigations that additionally address 1) objectives of the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate (ESDMD), and 2) any technology demonstration goals of the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) that also advance capabilities for science, exploration, or commercial development of the Moon are also welcome.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 37 releases DRAFT text for F.11 PRISM SALSA, for community comment. Comments and questions concerning this draft are due by August 30, 2024, to HQ-PRISM@mail.nasa.gov.

This program element will be participating in the Inclusion Plan Pilot Program, see Section 5.3.5. This Inclusion Plan will not be part of the adjectival ratings nor selection recommendations for this opportunity.

On or about August 2, 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2024/
