ROSES-12 Amendment 6 Appendix C.21: In-Space Propulsion Technology Program: Astrodynamics Research Grants

The In-Space Propulsion Technology: Astrodynamics Research Grants (ISPT:ARG) Program is seeking astrodynamics research that falls into two categories: 1) Research or development of an astrodynamics algorithm or methodology suitable for infusion into one of ISPT’s existing tools (Mystic, MALTO, Copernicus, SNAP, and/or OTIS) and 2) Research or development applicable to the development of a new tool to meet the needs of future NASA planetary science missions.

Notices of Intent are due by June 11, 2012 and 7-page proposals are due by August 20, 2012. Tables 2 and 3 of the Summary of Solicitation for this NRA will be updated to reflect these changes.

On or about May 21, 2012, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement “Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2012″ (NNH12ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and will appear on the RSS feed at: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2012
