About this file

This is an email notification of Amendment 49 to the ROSES-2025 (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) solicitation, specifically addressing corrections to section C.13 STRIDE (Science Transport and Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration).

C.13 STRIDE solicits proposals from U.S. industry to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capability for Mars surface operations, and early-stage prototyping of hardware where applicable. Amendment 49 implements several technical corrections: Table C.13-1 "requirements" has been changed to page limit; Sections 2.3, 3.3.2, and 5.1 have changed "should" to "must"; and Section 3.3.2 has been clarified. The proposal due date remains March 31, 2026. Neither Notices of Intent nor Step-1 proposals are required. The amendment will be posted on or about February 23, 2026, at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025 and on the SARA ROSES blog. Primary points of contact are Erica Montbach and Lane Painter (HQ-STRIDE@mail.nasa.gov), with secondary contact Shana Faris, Contract Specialist (shana.n.faris@nasa.gov). Updated FAQs are available on the NSPIRES page for C.13 STRIDE.

Subject: ROSES-25 Amendment 49: Corrections to C.13 Science Transport and Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration

C.13 Science Transport and Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration (STRIDE) solicits proposals from U.S. industry to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capability for Mars surface operations, and, where applicable, early-stage prototyping of hardware for the same purpose.

ROSES-2025 Amendment 49 makes several changes to C.13 STRIDE: in Table C.13-1 "requirements" has been changed to page limit, under Sections 2.3, 3.3.2, and 5.1 the word "should" has been changed to "must" and Section 3.3.2 has been clarified. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. Neither Notices of Intent nor Step-1 proposals are requested for this program. The due date is unchanged: proposals are due March 31, 2026. Updated FAQs have also been posted under other documents on the NSPIRES page for C.13 STRIDE.

On or about February 23, 2026, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025" (NNH25ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2025 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/solicitations/roses-2025/

The primary points of contact (POC) for C.13 STRIDE are Erica Montbach and Lane Painter, who may be reached via HQ-STRIDE@mail.nasa.gov. The secondary POC is Shana Faris (Contract Specialist) who may be reached at shana.n.faris@nasa.gov.
