About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate has issued a Community Announcement regarding the Earth Science "Atmosphere Observing System - Cloud (AOS-Cloud)" mission. This special notice serves to inform potential contractors about an upcoming Announcement of Opportunity (AO) scheduled for release in fiscal year 2025. The announcement outlines NASA's intention to solicit proposals for a Principal Investigator-led mission focused on Cloud, Convection, and Precipitation (CCP) science objectives. The mission is part of NASA's broader Earth Science Division efforts to advance atmospheric research and observation capabilities. The special notice is preliminary in nature and does not constitute a formal commitment from NASA.
The AOS-Cloud mission will have a total cost cap of $400 million, with NASA planning to select up to three proposals for nine-month Phase A concept studies, each funded up to $8 million. Eligible participants include U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, with NASA expecting proposals that demonstrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The mission aims to develop a radar cloud and convection profiling system, with potential international collaborations including instrument contributions from Italy, Canada, Japan, and France. NASA intends to select at least one mission to proceed beyond Phase A, with a target launch date of 2031. Interested parties must submit any questions via email by August 31, 2024, using the subject line "AOS-Cloud Community Announcement" and directing inquiries to the program scientists Hal Maring, Barry Lefer, and Will McCarty. The full draft Announcement of Opportunity will be released through the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) for comprehensive review and comment.
