Aug 22, 2022 · SOMA Earth Venture Mission-3 Acquisition Homepage. Q05 : On page R-16, the EVI-6 PEA states, "Once an appropriate launch arrangement is determined (preferably before the Preliminary Design Review), minor changes to the SmallSat(s) may be required. Appropriate budget margin should be planned to account for such changes."; however, on slide 12, the NASA Launch Services Program (LSP) Pre-Proposal ...

Aug 15, 2023 · CESO 22-1: Lunar Uncrewed Explorer Tool (LUNEXT) Develop a software tool for planning uncrewed lunar surface operations that simulates illumination conditions on the surface and displays environmental data, such as temperature and induced plume effects, into an integrated lunar operational environment simulation that …

CESO 22-4: Parabolic and Suborbital Glovebox in Support of Space Crop Production Space crop production research approaches and technologies can be validated for microgravity using parabolic or suborbital flight opportunities, and this will save considerable risk, time, and money for implementing new strategies in spaceflight. While the durations of microgravity in these tests are insufficient ...
