- Description
- NASA intends to issue a Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) in the near future.NASA has increasingly embraced public-private partnerships for achieving its strategic goals and objectives for expanding the frontiers of knowledge, capability, and opportunities in space. The next step for human spaceflight is the development of deep space exploration capabilities to expand architectures to support more extensive missions in the proving ground around and beyond cis-lunar space. An important part of NASAs strategy is to stimulate the commercial space industry while leveraging those same commercial capabilities through partnerships to deliver mission capabilities. NASA is seeking proposals for concept studies or technology development projects to support future deep space exploration. This BAA is intended to enable a robust exploration of public-private partnership opportunities with NASA. The Advanced Exploration Systems Division within the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate has identified three key long term potential capability areas that could benefit human space exploration and they are: 1.Advanced Propulsion Systems. 2.Habitation Systems. 3.Small Satellite Missions as secondary payloads on the first Space Launch System flight The duration of the contracts will vary depending upon the complexity of the studies or development effort. NASA anticipates phased approaches that may extend up to 5 years. Pending final approval, NASA intends to require a minimum of 50% cost sharing and/or matching for the proposed efforts, which may include prior industry investment. Submission information, participant eligibility, additional topic information and specific evaluation criteria for the solicitation will be identified in the BAA.
