Remote Sensing from the International Space Station

Welcome to the ISS National Lab Request for Proposals

RFP No. CASIS 2014-1 | RFP Reissued January 13, 2014 | Proposals Due: March 27, 2014

The ISS National Lab is pleased to reissue this Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking to identify projects within the field of remote sensing. The ISS National Lab is confident that this RFP will attract both experienced and new-to-space investigators for the development and deployment for testing (for 90 days or less) of sensors or instrumentation for remote sensing or for the utilization of existing hardware for remote sensing on the ISS U.S. National Laboratory. Proposals should seek to use the National Lab for development of sensors and/or use of existing hardware for studies of Earth, Earth’s atmosphere, and astronomy and planetary science with the goal of benefiting life on Earth. The ISS National Lab will support this process through grant funding, facilitation of service-provider interactions and flight coordination to and from the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory.

*Please Note* This solicitation has changed from the previous version issued on October 17, 2013. The ISS National Lab strongly suggests that applicants read the entire reissued solicitation carefully before submitting proposed projects to ensure compliance with the goals of this reissued RFP.
