- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing an opportunity for U.S. businesses seeking to develop and demonstrate In Space Production Applications (InSPA) on the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory (NL). This opportunity will be through the International Space Station (ISS) NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ13ZBG001N, Focus Area 1 �In Space Production Applications (InSPA)�, link here:� https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?method=init&solId=%7b21E0270C-BC1F-EFC4-3D87-30713B5FF373%7d&path=open The International Space Station remains the premier microgravity research and development laboratory for those seeking to develop and demonstrate advanced materials and emerging technologies in the area of in-space production and manufacturing of products for use on Earth.� NASA intends to make awards through this Focus Area 1�to small and large U.S. businesses that seek to develop and demonstrate on the ISS technologies that lead to commercially viable and sustainable In Space Production Applications (InSPA) in low-Earth orbit (LEO).� Strategic Goals: The Government hopes to accomplish three major goals as a result of awards made under the InSPA effort:� Serving national interests by developing technologies that strengthen U.S. technological leadership, improve national security, and create high-quality jobs. Providing benefits to humanity by developing products that significantly improve the quality of life for people on Earth. Enabling the development of an economy in LEO by stimulating scalable and sustainable non-NASA utilization of future commercial LEO destinations or orbital platforms. Reference for more information: https://www.nasa.gov/leo-economy/opportunities-to-stimulate-demand. Objectives of this Focus Area: NASA intends through these awards to provide the support needed by U.S. companies during early-stage development to validate game-changing materials and production processes that give U.S. industry a competitive edge in the area of in-space manufacturing and production. Successful proposals will further mature in-space manufacturing concepts that produce high-value items for use on Earth with potential for scalability and capturing sizeable markets, creating new markets, or disrupting existing Earth-based technologies by taking advantage of the unique environment of the ISS NL. Reference NASA�s LEO Economy website for further information about NASA�s strategic goals: https://www.nasa.gov/leo-economy/opportunities-to-stimulate-demand.�White Paper proposals are due November 03,�2021, 4:00 PM Central Standard Time (CST).
