Corrections to D.12 Astrophysics Science Smallsat Studies

Last month NASA's Astrophysics division released text for program element D.12 Astrophysics Science Smallsat Studies that solicits studies of low-cost spaceflight mission concepts using small spacecraft in standard form factors, including CubeSats, CubeSat constellations, and secondary (RideShare) payloads launched as ESPA and ESPA-grande-ring compatible spacecraft.

Inconsistent information about the duration of awards has been corrected in this program element. The awards are expected to be twelve months in duration. Also, two additional Design Assistance Points of Contact have been added to Section 3.1. New text is in bold, and deleted text is struck through. NOIs are not requested and proposals are due December 19, 2019.

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.
