Expression of interest: Small-satellite missions sandpit
Solicitation # 206083
UK Research and Innovation is seeking expressions of interest for a small-satellite missions sandpit designed to bring together approximately 30 researchers and innovators from diverse disciplines. The goal is to co-develop ambitious, challenge-led small-satellite mission concepts focusing on innovative sensors, data streams, and cross-sector enabling technologies to enhance sovereign capability, address national security and societal challenges, and support economic growth. The activity consists of six sessions held between January 26 and February 11, 2027, utilizing a combination of online sessions and a two-day residential event. Total program funding is listed at 1,870,000, with the objective of developing concepts for pump-priming research grants in 2027/2028. Selection of participants is based on core assessment questions focusing on skills and potential contributions rather than track record, with additional consideration given to geographic diversity across all UK regions. Applicants must apply through an Expression of Interest stage, and invited applicants will use the Resume for Research and Innovation format. Mandatory attendance at all sessions is required, with travel and subsistence costs reimbursed and accommodation provided for overnight stays. The program is managed by the UKRI Space Programme team, with the response deadline for the solicitation set for November 25, 2026.

Enabling Technology for Future Missions
Solicitation # 9F063-20260085
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 9F063-20260085 for the development of one to three enabling technologies to support future space missions. The primary objective is to advance strategic technologies to reduce technical uncertainties and support the implementation of future Canadian space activities. A specific focus of this effort is the maturation of a lightweight, athermal reflecting telescope capability to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5. This includes the delivery of a reflecting telescope brassboard validated for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) vibration and thermal-vacuum environments, intended for Earth Observation imaging payloads on CubeSats of 4U or larger, with the telescope itself being 2U or less. Key performance targets include a Ground Sampling Distance of less than 7 metres and a swath width greater than 5 km. The project is planned for a duration of 16 months, structured around five key milestones: a Kick-off meeting, Preliminary Design Review, Detailed Design Review/Work Authorization Meeting, Test Readiness Review, and a Final Review meeting. Deliverables include the hardware brassboard, CAD and performance analysis models, software, and a Technology Roadmap for advancing to TRL 6-8. This solicitation is restricted to Canadian suppliers. Awards will be based on the highest combined rating of technical merit (60 percent) and price (40 percent), with a minimum technical score of 70 points required for consideration. The procurement process includes strict requirements for security clearances, intellectual property disclosure, and adherence to environmentally preferable packaging standards.

Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC) Technical Library
Solicitation # 80JSC025_CLDC_TECH_LIBRARY
The Commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination Contract (CLDC) Technical Library, managed by the NASA Johnson Space Center, serves as a centralized repository of technical standards, plans, and guidelines for potential offerors. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to support the development of private LEO space destinations and supporting systems as NASA prepares for the retirement of the International Space Station. The library provides a series of data drops containing both controlled and uncontrolled technical data, including standards for docking systems, payload interfaces, and crew health operations. It also outlines specific NASA center capabilities and high-value engineering products available to industry partners to reduce technical and schedule risks. It is important to note that this activity is a special notice and does not constitute a Request for Proposals, Invitation for Bid, or Request for Quotation. No proposals are to be submitted in response to this notice, and it does not represent a commitment by the government to enter into a contract. Access to export-controlled content requires the submission of a specific request form and compliance with U.S. export regulations, including the implementation of Technology Transfer Control Plans and Non-Disclosure Agreements for foreign nationals. The library is intended to keep industry updated on current NASA technical standards in anticipation of future FAR-based acquisitions.

B.7 The Heliophysics Low-Cost Access to Space
Solicitation # NNH25ZDA001N-LCAS
The Heliophysics Low-Cost Access to Space (H-LCAS) program, solicitation NNH25ZDA001N-LCAS, is a research opportunity managed by the NASA Science Mission Directorate. The program supports the development and maturation of innovative instruments, technologies, and flight investigations using sounding rockets, high-altitude balloons, CubeSats, or airborne platforms. Projects are categorized as either science or science-enabling and are evaluated based on their scientific and technical merit, relevance to the 2024-2033 Heliophysics Decadal Survey or NASA strategic objectives, and cost reasonableness. Awards typically have a duration of three years, with a maximum of four years available upon justification, and are expected to start approximately six months after the proposal due date. Eligible organizations of all types may propose, though participation by the People's Republic of China is prohibited and non-U.S. organizations may participate on a no exchange of funds basis. Applicants must be registered in SAM.gov and provide a Unique Entity Identifier. Proposals must be submitted electronically via NSPIRES by an Authorized Organizational Representative and include a 20-page Science-Technical-Management section, a 4,000-character summary, and required non-anonymized attachments including a total budget, a Payload Reference Document, and an Expertise and Resources appendix. Key deliverables include the development of flight hardware, the archiving of calibrated data in a NASA online facility, and publication in professional journals.

The Texas Space Commission issued Request for Information RFI-358-26-004 to identify existing facilities in Texas or conceptual models for a shared-user space propulsion research, development, testing, and evaluation facility. This nonbinding market research effort seeks to understand the capability and capacity of potential providers to support NASA-class mission requirements, specifically regarding the identification, acquisition, and deployment of space propulsion technologies. The commission is requesting detailed information on technical envelopes, including propellant classes, thrust ranges, and environmental capabilities, as well as rough order-of-magnitude capital and operating costs. Responses are due by September 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and must be submitted via email to the Texas Space Commission. The submission package requires six specific volumes, including a cover sheet, executive summary, response narrative, a structured workbook, a technical annex, and a public copy for redaction purposes. Because this is an RFI for information gathering, it does not constitute a funding opportunity, and no award, grant, or contract will result directly from this process. Respondents are cautioned that submissions must not contain classified information and may be subject to the Texas Public Information Act.
