Description
This NASA opportunity, part of the annual ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) omnibus, solicits proposals for physical sciences research relevant to spaceflight and microgravity environments. The program is managed by the Biological and Physical Sciences Division and is structured around two main goals:
- Foundations: Understanding the behavior of fluids, combustion, soft matter, and materials in spaceflight environments.
- Quantum Leaps: Probing fundamental physical laws using quantum sensors and atomic physics, with an emphasis on transformative, space-based experiments.
Research can be ground-based, utilize drop towers, parabolic or suborbital flights, NASA-managed balloon flights, or the International Space Station (ISS). The program supports both fundamental and applied research, including the analysis of existing data and the development of new experimental concepts.
