A -- NEW MILLENNIUM PROGRAM INTEGRATED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM MEMBERSHIP SOL 96/9. Contact Point: Gerald T. O'Connell (818) 354-4885; FAX (818) 354-4152; E-mail: gerald.t.oconnell@ccmail.jpl.nasa.gov. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology (JPL/CIT), operating under a prime contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is soliciting proposals for new members to supplement the presently established New Millennium Program (NMP) Integrated Product Development Teams (IPDTs). NMP is a space flight validation program aimed at validating key technology breakthroughs that will reduce the cost while enhancing the performance of the 21st Century space science missions. The IPDT areas of focus include: (a) Autonomy; (b) Communications Systems; (c) In-Situ Instruments and MEMS; (d) Instrument Technologies and Architectures; (e) Modular and Multifunctional Systems and (f) Microelectronics Systems. New members will be selected based on an evaluation of the technologies they propose for the program, and on their ability to provide these technologies they propose for the program, and on their ability to provide these technologies for NMP flight validation. A four (4) week response period will be provided for the submittal of technology proposals. Only industry, academia and nonprofit organization are to respond hereto. A separate solicitation for government laboratories and agencies will be issued. Both solicitations will be available on October 21, 1996 on the NMP Website at ``http://nmp.jpl.nasa.gov/.'' Specific instructions for this solicitation are also available via E-mail request at ``gerald.t.oconnell@ccmail.jpl.nasa.gov.'' This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). (289)
