You are notified that the following changes are made: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing an opportunity for U.S. entities seeking to develop and demonstrate In Space Production Applications (InSPA) on the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab (NL). This opportunity is made available through the ISS NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ13BG001N, Special Focus Area 1 “In Space Production Applications (InSPA)." This notice is for InSPA Phase 1 concepts in the area of Tissue Engineering and Biomanufacturing. NASA requests the submission of white papers followed by proposals (by invitation only) that focus on applications that use space to serve markets on Earth. Proposals should demonstrate the potential of space to produce superior biomaterials and products over what can be achieved on Earth for important terrestrial applications. The final amendment to Focus Area 1 has been published to NSPIRES. The white paper due date has been extended to April 7, 2023. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing an opportunity for U.S. entities seeking to develop and demonstrate In Space Production Applications (InSPA) on the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab (NL). This opportunity is made available through the ISS NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ13BG001N, Special Focus Area 1 “In Space Production Applications (InSPA)”, link listed in the attachments/links section. The ISS remains the premier microgravity research and development laboratory for those seeking to develop and demonstrate technologies for in-space production of new and higher performing products for use on Earth. NASA intends to make awards through this Focus Area to enable commercially viable and sustainable business opportunities in low-Earth orbit (LEO) that advance solutions for national interest or public benefit by leveraging the capabilities and resources of the ISS. NASA intends through these awards to provide the support needed by United States non-governmental entities during early-stage development to validate game-changing materials and production processes that give U.S. industry a competitive edge amidst increasing global competition.
