Amendment 82: A.48 Commercial Satellite Data Earth Science and Applications Final Text and Due Dates Released

A.48 Commercial Satellite Data Earth Science Research and Applications (CESRA) was established to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial sources that support NASA's Earth science research and application goals. NASA's Earth Science Division (ESD) recognizes the potential impact commercial small-satellite constellations may have in encouraging/enabling efficient approaches to advancing Earth System Science and applications development for societal benefit.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 82 releases final text for program element A.48 now entitled Commercial Satellite Data Earth Science Research and Applications (CESRA). The name and scope have changed from the previously released TBD placeholder for A.48.

This program element uses a two-step proposal submission process, see Section 4.2 and the dual anonymous peer review process, see Section 4.3. 5-page not anonymized Step-1 Proposal PDFs are due Friday, January 31, 2025, and anonymized Step-2 Proposals are due Wednesday, March 26, 2025.

There will be a telecon for prospective proposers on Friday, December 20, 2024, at 2-3 PM Eastern Time. Connection information for this meeting is in Section 6.2.

On or about December 12, 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

Questions concerning A.48 CSDAEA may be directed to Melissa Martin at melissa.yang@nasa.gov.
