Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research
Solicitation # FA2391-23-S-2403
The Pioneering Aerospace Capabilities, Engineering and Research (PACER) program, under solicitation FA2391-23-S-2403, is a comprehensive Broad Agency Announcement issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Aerospace Systems Directorate. This open, two-step solicitation is designed to fund research and development efforts that mature novel aerospace concepts and technologies to appropriate technology readiness levels, specifically targeting transformative capabilities for the warfighter. The program encompasses a wide array of specialized calls, including efforts for hypersonic weapon concepts (HAMWC), automated air-to-air refueling (CRONUS), advanced propulsion and power systems (SNAPP, AEPO, MSIPPT, HITEMP, INNATE), and multidisciplinary design and structures (MASTR, VOLARE, CC DROIDS). The acquisition process typically involves an initial white paper submission followed by full proposals from selected offerors, though some calls utilize a one-step process. Awards may take the form of contracts or assistance instruments, with anticipated types including Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), and IDIQ task orders. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, strict security protocols are enforced, requiring offerors to comply with AFRLI 61-113 for Science and Technology Protection and meet CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 standards to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Proposals are evaluated based on the uniqueness and innovation of the approach, understanding of scope, technical soundness, and transition potential, with cost realism serving as a secondary substantial factor.

NASA Langley Research Center has awarded a firm-fixed price contract to Astrobotic Technology, Inc. for the development of Lunar Vertical Solar Array Technology. This project, stemming from a competitive selection under the Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2020 announcement, aims to create solar arrays essential for a sustained lunar surface presence by 2028. The primary objective is to design, prototype, and test a robotically deployable solar panel system capable of providing 10 kilowatts of electrical power at the lunar south pole. The scope of work is divided into a base period and an option period. During the base period, Astrobotic Technology will conduct the necessary design and analyses to demonstrate expected performance. If the option period is exercised, the company will fabricate and test a prototype to achieve a Technical Readiness Level of 6 and prove the system is qualified for space applications. To maximize sunlight capture and minimize shadowing at the south pole, the development will explore the use of vertical arrays on masts reaching up to 10 meters in length.

General Info

NASA awarded Astrobotic a contract for 10kW lunar vertical solar array technology development.

This notice is provided for information purposes only. NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) awarded a firm-fixed price contract to Astrobotic Technology, Inc., Pittsburg, PA for the effort entitled - Lunar Vertical Solar Array Technology. This award results from a competitive selection under the NASA Headquarters released NASA Research Announcement (NRA) 80HQTR20NOA01, entitled Space Technology - Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion - 2020 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2020), Appendix 80HQTR20NOA01-20GCD_C1, Lunar Vertical Solar Array Technology (Lunar VSAT). The existing Game Changing Development (GCD) Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) project is focused on the development of solar arrays and related technologies necessary for sustained presence on the lunar surface circa 2028. The Lunar VSAT Appendix addresses key technologies associated with the goals of that GCD effort. The objective of this procurement is for Astrobotic Technology to design, prototype, and test the Lunar VSAT, a solar panel system designed to provide 10 kilowatts of electrical power and be robotically deployable at the south pole of the lunar surface. During the Base Period, Astrobotic Technology shall perform design and analyses to analytically demonstrate the expected performance of Lunar VSAT. During the Option Period, if exercised, Astrobotic Technology shall fabricate and test the prototype Lunar VSAT system, achieve a Technical Readiness Level of 6 (TRL 6), and demonstrate that the system is capable of qualification for space applications. Under this effort, Astrobotic Technology will explore vertical array development on masts of up to 10 m in length to minimize shadowing in order to capture near-continuous sunlight at the lunar South Pole.
