Amendment 24: F.10 Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon (PRISM) Due Dates Reset and Other Changes.
F.10 Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon (PRISM) solicits development and flight of a science-driven suite of instruments and supporting technology demonstration payloads tailored to complete scientific investigations at a lunar landing destination, that address the science goals of 1) any SMD division, e.g., Planetary Science, Earth Science, Heliophysics, Astrophysics, and Biological and Physical Sciences, 2) objectives of the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate (ESDMD), and 3) any technology demonstration goals of the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) that advance capabilities for science, exploration, or commercial development of the Moon.
Payloads will be delivered on a Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) lander to a location the lunar surface that is identified and justified in the proposal, including the South Pole region but excluding the North Pole region.
ROSES-2025 Amendment 24 defers three dates for this program element: The pre-proposal webinar will occur December 5, 2025, at 1 pm Eastern Time, see the PPC connect information in Section 9, Step-1 proposals are now due December 12, 2025, and Step-2 proposals are now due February 20, 2026. Moreover, a few other changes were made: In Section 2.1 a paragraph about the direct purchase of goods, supplies and/or services from non-U.S. sources was expanded, small changes were made to Section 3.1 to provide updated guidance on landing site hazard analyses, and a paragraph referring to cooperative agreements as the award type was removed from Section 5. New text is in bold, deleted text is struck through. FAQs will be posted shortly under "Other documents" on the right side of the NSPIRES page for F.10 PRISM.
On or about November 24, 2025, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025" (NNH25ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025
