Attachment A ABSTRACT SUMMARY SLIDE TEMPLATE.pptx

This document summarizes a federal government pre-solicitation notice seeking innovative research proposals. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is soliciting proposals through its Novel Orbital and Moon Manufacturing, Materials, and Mass-efficient Design program to develop new materials, manufacturing technologies, and design approaches. Specific areas of interest include high-performance materials for off-Earth environments, energy-efficient manufacturing methods for use on orbit or the lunar surface, capabilities to utilize existing lunar resources such as regolith, and mass-efficient structural design paradigms. The goal is to establish foundational technologies enabling future construction of structures in space and on the moon without constraints of launch from Earth.
