The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) will be releasing an umbrella NASA Research Announcement (NRA) titled "Space Technology Infusion-2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015)" in October 2014. The NRA will be accessible from the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) website, (http://nspires.nasaprs.com by linking through the menu listing "Solicitations", and then selecting "Open Solicitations" and finally selecting "Space Technology Infusion-2015 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015)." Under SpaceTech-REDDI-2015, proposals will be solicited through Appendices which will be issued as technology topics are defined and funding is made available for new opportunities. Once new Appendices are released, interested parties will be able to access them by clicking through the Open S olicitations link, then selecting "NRA NNH15ZOA001N", and then selecting "List of Open Program Elements". It is anticipated that this umbrella solicitation (SpaceTech-REDDI-2015) will be open for one year (through October 2015) and follow-up umbrella SpaceTech-REDDI solicitations will be issued annually at about the same time. The STMD portfolio supports a combination of early-stage studies, for assessing the feasibility of entirely new technologies (which corresponds to a technology readiness level (TRL) range from 1 to 3); maturing feasible technologies through rapid competitive development and ground-based and flight demonstrations in relevant environments to complete the final steps prior to mission infusion (TRL 5-7). This technological diversity results in a sustainable pipeline of revolutionary concepts. STMD seeks aggressive technology development efforts that may require undertaking significant technical challenges and risk to achieve a higher potential payoff. The following STMD programs will be included in the SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 umbrella solicitation: * NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program focuses on visionary aeronautics and space system concepts. TRL Range: 1-3 -- Appendix A1: NIAC Phase I Call for Proposals -- Appendix A2: NIAC Phase II Call for Proposals * Space Technology Research Grants (STRGP) Program engages academia in innovative research in advanced space technology. TRL Range: 1-3 -- Appendix B1: Early Career Faculty (ECF) -- Appendix B2: Early Stage Innovations (ESI) * Game Changing Development (GCD) Program focuses on maturing advanced space technologies that may lead to entirely new approaches for the Agency's future space missions. TRL Range: 3-5 -- Appendix C1: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD -- Appendix C2: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD -- Appendix C3: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD -- Appendix C4: Game Changing Technology Topic TBD * Technology Demonstration Missions (TDM) Program seeks to mature laboratory-proven technologies to flight-ready status. TRL Range: 5-7 -- Appendix D1: Topic TBD * Small Spacecraft Technology (SST) Program develops and demonstrates subsystem technologies and new mission capabilities for small spacecraft. TRL Range: 3-7 -- Appendix E1: Small Spacecraft Technology Development and Demonstration -- Appendix E2: Smallsat Technology Partnerships * Flight Opportunities Program (FOP) facilitates low-cost access to suborbital environments for a broad range of innovators as a means of advancing space technology development and supporting the evolving entrepreneurial commercial space industry. TRL Range: 5-7 -- Appendix F1: FOP Technology Topic TBD Additional information about the STMD Programs is available at http://www.nasa.gov/spacetech . The SpaceTech-REDDI-2015 solicitation will contain target release dates for the Appendices that will be solicited in that year.
