About this opportunity
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is conducting a virtual outreach event on space weather as part of its Science That Shapes Missions Series, designed to inform small businesses about mission-critical factors influencing spacecraft design, protection, and crew safety. The session covers solar activity, geomagnetic storms, and energetic particles and their operational impact across NASA missions. Participants will learn how space weather shapes mission planning and execution, the technical challenges and mitigation innovations required, and small business opportunities to support NASA's exploration objectives. The event includes an overview of small business engagement at Goddard, a technical briefing on space weather relevance to exploration initiatives, and a combined technical and procurement Q&A addressing requirements, proposal readiness, best practices for responding to Sources Sought notices, and effective RFI submission strategies. NASA will also present information on upcoming small business opportunities, engagement pathways with the Office of Small Business Programs, and industry participation resources. The event is open to contractors in engineering, research, technology development, and mission services.

Science That Shapes Missions Series: Space Weather – Virtual Outreach Event
Space weather isn’t just a scientific curiosity — it’s a mission‑critical factor that influences how NASA designs, builds, and protects spacecraft, technologies, and crews. This virtual session explores how solar activity, geomagnetic storms, and energetic particles shape the way missions across NASA are planned and executed.
Participants will gain insight into the operational challenges posed by space weather, the innovations needed to mitigate its effects, and the opportunities for small businesses to support NASA’s evolving mission landscape. Whether your work touches engineering, research, technology development, or mission services, understanding space weather is essential to advancing NASA’s future exploration goals.
The event will feature:
• An overview of small business engagement
• A introduction to Goddard Space Flight Center capabilities
• A technical overview of space weather, its relevance to exploration initiatives, and key challenges and opportunities
• A combined technical and procurement Q&A session, offering guidance on requirements, proposal readiness, best practices for responding to Sources Sought notices, and how to develop effective RFI submissions
• Information on upcoming small business opportunities, ways to engage with NASA’s Office of Small Business Programs, and additional resources to support industry participation
Reserve your spot and learn how this powerful science drives mission requirements, informs risk, and opens the door for new industry partnerships.
