Dear Flight Opportunities community, NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate released a new “Announcement of Collaborative Opportunity (ACO)” solicitation last Thursday February 2.
NASA centers will partner with the companies that are awarded projects under the ACO to provide technical expertise and test facilities as well as hardware and software to aid in maturing technologies that can enable or enhance space systems and closely related subsystems. NASA's investments in industry partnerships can reduce the cost of the development of technologies and accelerate the infusion of emerging commercial space system capabilities into space missions. Mandatory preliminary proposals for this opportunity are due by March 15. Feedback will be provided on preliminary proposals. Final proposals are due May 31. Awards will be made in the form of non-reimbursable Space Act Agreements (no funds exchanged). Proposals must be led by a U.S. for-profit entity. NASA expects to select projects worth a combined total of approximately $10 million to U.S. industry. The solicitation is available on NSPIRES at http://go.nasa.gov/2jI4OIa For more background information, please see the web feature at https://goo.gl/F1TsFf Regards, Alexander van Dijk STMD/Flight Opportunities
