A -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REGARDING "BREAKTHROUGH" PROPULSION SOL 99-LeRC-1 POC Gary A. Golinski, Contracting Officer, Phone (216) 433-2790, Fax (216) 433-2480, Email Gary.A.Golinski@lerc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.nasa.gov/EPS/LeRC/date.html#99-LeRC-1. E-MAIL: Gary A. Golinski, Gary.A.Golinski@lerc.nasa.gov. In the near future NASA's Lewis Research Center will solicit proposals, using the NRA process, for Research and Development in the area of Breakthrough Propulsion Physics. Proposals should aim to incrementally advance physics to address critical unknowns, make-or-break issues, or curious effects related to achieving at least one of the following program goals: (1) Discover propulsion methods which eliminate or dramatically reduce the need for propellant; (2) discover methods for achieving the shortest possible travel times (includes reexamining the light-speed limit);and (3) Disciver new modes of on-board energy generation to power the propulsion devices. The NRA will be issued in the near future and Proposals will be due approximately 90 days later. It is anticipated that the NRA will result in grants/contracts with a value of approximately $50K to $150K. However, each proposer should propose a budget which accurately reflects the Statement of Work. Please indicate your interest in receiving a copy ofthe NRA by sending an E-mail to Mr. Joe Hemminger at: Joseph.A.Hemminger@lerc.nasa.gov or Gary A. Golinski at: Gary.A.Golinski@lerc.nasa.gov. If you care to attach any documents to your E-mail, please do so in Word. Posted 09/10/98 (D-SN247957). (0253)
