D.3 Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA) solicits basic research proposals for investigations that are relevant to NASA's programs in astronomy and astrophysics and includes research over the entire range of photons, gravitational waves, and particle astrophysics.
D.7 Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT) supports the maturation of key technologies for potential infusion in spaceflight missions. The SAT program is designed to support the maturation of technologies that have already been demonstrated to be feasible (i.e., TRL 3), to the point where they can be incorporated into NASA flight missions (TRL 6).
ROSES-2023 Amendment 60 makes several significant changes to D.3 APRA and D.7 SAT. The changes are summarized in the bold notice at the top of each program element and new text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The due dates are unchanged: Mandatory Notices of Intent are due 15 December 2023, and proposals are due 31 January 2024.
Questions concerning D.3 APRA may be directed to Dominic J. Benford at Dominic.Benford@nasa.gov and David C. Morris at David.C.Morris@nasa.gov. Questions concerning D.7 SAT may be directed to Mario R. Perez at mario.perez@nasa.gov.
