AI Contract Overview

The Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator (LEIA) is a forecast solicitation issued by the NASA Glenn Research Center on behalf of the Space Technology Mission Directorate. This initiative seeks proposals from U.S. institutions to mature and demonstrate critical capabilities necessary for NASA's Moon Base. Specifically, the program targets the advancement of vertical solar arrays, in situ resource utilization oxygen production systems, Stirling radioisotope generators, in-space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials production. The primary objective of these efforts is to reduce risk and conduct ground demonstrations to elevate competing technology solutions to Technology Readiness Levels 5 through 6. This opportunity is being issued as Appendix A under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnership (NextSTEP-3) Broad Agency Announcement, with the associated NAICS code 541715.

Full Description

Through the Appendix that NASA GRC plans to solicit, STMD seeks proposals from U.S. institutions to mature and demonstrate capabilities in the areas of vertical solar arrays, in situ resource utilization (ISRU) oxygen production systems, Stirling radioisotope generators, in-space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials production. These targeted technology areas require further risk reduction and ground demonstrations to advance competing solutions to Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 5-6. The efforts supported under this solicitation advance the technology objectives of NASA’s Moon Base.
NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) plans to issue an Appendix under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnership (NextSTEP-3) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), titled Appendix A- Lunar Enabling Infrastructure Accelerator (LEIA) on behalf of the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD).
