REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FISSION SURFACE POWER SYSTEM
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
This notice is issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration-s (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) to solicit responses from interested parties to gain industry feedback and gauge interest in a potential future opportunity. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to provide feedback and promote competition.
I. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
Fission surface power (FSP) is both an essential and sustainable segment of the lunar and Mars power architectures for future human space exploration missions. NASA intends to advance this critical technology to be able to support a future lunar economy and power generation on Mars.
The Fission Surface Power System is expected to operate on the lunar surface in proximity to crewed and uncrewed lunar assets, including human-rated landers, rovers, and pressurized habitats. The Fission Surface Power System is expected to have a minimum power output of 100kWe, have a mass allocation of less than 15 metric tons, and utilize a closed Brayton cycle power conversion system with readiness to launch by the first quarter of fiscal year 2030.
II. GROUND RULES/ASSUMPTIONS
The objective of the Fission Surface Power System effort is to energize the space industrial base to support a future lunar economy through the deployment of advanced fission power technology to the surface of the moon. Responses to this RFI may be used to inform a potential future opportunity for the deployment of lunar surface fission power capabilities. Respondents may choose to answer any or all questions and may add additional content to questions as they see necessary.
III. QUESTIONS FOR INDUSTRY
Respondents are requested to provide the following information to assist in NASA's preparation of a potenti... - Documents :
