Discovery 2010 Announcement of Opportunity(NNH10ZDA007O)

Subject: Discovery 2010 AO Amendment 3: New data requirement and delay of due date
 
NNH10ZDA007O
Release Date: June 7, 2010
Proposals Due: September 10, 2010
 

With this amendment, the NASA Announcement of Opportunity (AO) NNH10ZDA007O, “Discovery 2010,” has been amended to add a new requirement for provision of sufficient data to permit an independent assessment of the proposed mission design and trajectory.

Requirement B-30A has been added to require provision of sufficient data to permit an independent assessment of the proposed mission design and trajectory. Recognizing the late date of this additional requirement, this additional data may be provided in a file or files on the CD containing the electronic version of the proposal. There is no requirement that this data also be included in the hardcopy proposal.

To accommodate the late date of this additional requirement, the proposal due date has been extended by one week. Proposals are due on September 10, 2010.

On or about August 16, 2010, Amendment No. 3 to the NASA Announcement of Opportunity “Discovery 2010” (NNH10ZDA007O) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ (select “Solicitations” then “Open Solicitations” then “NNH10ZDA007O”).

Questions concerning the Discovery 2010 AO may be addressed to Dr. Michael H. New, Discovery Program Scientist, Planetary Science Division, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546; Tel.: (202) 358-1766; E-mail: Michael.H.New@nasa.gov (subject line to read "DISCOVERY AO").
