- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit proposals for the Instrument Incubator Program (IIP), a technology development program in support of the Earth Science Enterprise (ESE). The IIP seeks proposals for technology development activities leading to new system and subsystem level airborne and space-based measurement techniques which: ? reduce the risk, cost, size, and development time of Earth observing instruments, and ? enable new Earth observation measurements. The IIP is designed to reduce the risk of new, innovative instrument systems so that they can be successfully used in future science solicitations in a fast track (3 year) acquisition environment. This NASA Research Announcement solicits instrument design, engineering model construction, lab demonstrations, and field demonstrations for innovative measurement techniques that have the highest potential to meet the objectives of the IIP and the measurement capability requirements of the NASA Earth Science Program. The IIP is envisioned to be flexible enough to accept instrument and measurement concepts at various stages of maturity, and through appropriate risk reduction activities (such as design, construction of laboratory breadboards and engineering models, and field demonstrations on the ground or on airborne platforms), advance the system's technology readiness to that necessary to compete successfully in future science solicitations or New Millennium Program space flight demonstrations. The proposer must define the starting point for the instrument or measurement technique and the exit or success criteria for the proposed activity. The following science measurements are solicited from this IIP NRA: ? Topography and surface change ? Gravity field Measurement ? Tropospheric profiles of O3, CO, NOx from GEO ? Atmospheric temperature, moisture and rainfall from GEO ? Sea ice thickness and snow cover ? Coastal region change from GEO ? Innovative technologies supporting measurement concepts from the L1 or L2 libration points. Proposals for other technology developments that do not address the needs as described previously will be considered non-responsive and will not be evaluated. The NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Research Opportunities home page at http://research.hq.nasa.gov/research.cfm under ''Office of Earth Science (Code Y)''. This announcement will be open for the period from July 16, 2002 through September 5, 2002, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout that period.
