Description
NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) is actively seeking partners interested in collaborating on proposals for various space exploration initiatives. This includes responding to NASA Announcements of Opportunity (AOs), Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs), Missions of Opportunity (MoOs), and other government agency calls. ARC is looking for partners capable of conducting scientific investigations, research activities, and developing new technologies aligned with NASA's objectives. Additionally, they are interested in partners who can provide essential flight hardware such as spacecraft, deployment systems, suborbital systems, ground support systems, equipment, or instrumentation for proposed missions. ARC anticipates responding to a wide range of AOs, including those from the New Frontiers Program, Discovery Program, SIMPLEx program, Explorers Program (MIDEX, SMEX, MoO), and Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) calls. They are particularly interested in upcoming ROSES 2026 opportunities related to Earth Sciences, Heliophysics, Astrophysics, Space Biology, Instruments, Payloads, and Lunar missions. Responses are encouraged even if a specific solicitation is not listed, as ARC often begins planning for future AOs 18 to 36 months in advance. Prospective partners should submit responses detailing their capabilities in areas such as spacecraft systems, payload/instrumentation, planetary surface delivery, scientific/technology concepts, and integration with launch services. Responses should include company information, a point of contact, and relevant technical and business details. NASA support service contractors may have access to proprietary information submitted.
