About this file
This document contains a technology roadmap for the NASA Sounding Rockets Program covering the years 2019 through 2025. The roadmap outlines key technology goals and milestones to increase payload and sub-payload capabilities, enable longer observation times through high altitude vehicles and reentry/recovery systems, improve telemetry and onboard data recording, and develop new mesospheric vehicles and payloads. Near term focus areas include increasing sub-payload deployment velocity, developing 3U CubeSat form factor deployers, and achieving 300-400 Mbps C-band and 1 Gbps onboard telemetry. Mid-term goals incorporate integrated power systems, GPS upgrades, and 40 km telemetry ranges. Later milestones consist of consolidated ordnance, high altitude vehicle recovery, and nested skin designs for reentry. The related federal contract opportunity is a final RFP for the NASA Sounding Rocket Operations Contract (NSROC) IV to be awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Center.
