[NASA] ROSES-24 AMENDMENT 31: DELAY OF PROPOSAL DUE DATE FOR C.15 PLANETARY PROTECTION RESEARCH
C.15 Planetary Protection Research (PPR) solicits mission-enabling and capability-driven research to improve NASA’s understanding of the potential for both forward and backward contamination and to improve methods and technologies for accurate, efficient, and effective minimization of biological contamination for outbound spacecraft and return samples.
ROSES-2024 Amendment 31 delays the final proposal submission due date for C.15 PPR due to widespread power loss resulting from Hurricane Beryl. Proposals are now due August 2, 2024. Go to: This link
