Measurement of Core Temperature and Thermoregulatory Responses during and after Spaceflight in Astronauts
Solicitation # 80JSC027CTTR
NASA Johnson Space Center is issuing a sources-sought Request for Information under solicitation number 80JSC027CTTR to gather data on the measurement of core body temperature and thermoregulatory responses in astronauts. The initiative, managed by the NASA Human Research Program, aims to characterize these responses before, during, and after spaceflight, specifically focusing on normal daily activities, exercise, and the critical phases of re-entry and landing. While the work is targeted for completion of the International Space Station in 2032, the scope may extend to Artemis missions and commercial destinations in low Earth orbit. The agency is seeking recommendations for validated surveillance approaches, technology currently available or in development for use in low Earth orbit and future Moon or Mars missions, and retrospective methodologies for analyzing existing datasets via the NASA Life Sciences Data Portal. Additionally, the RFI requests study recommendations for short- and long-duration missions, including the use of analogs such as suborbital or parabolic flights. Interested parties must submit electronic responses to Tracy L. Quintanilla and Katelyn R. Jaime by October 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CT. This action is for planning purposes only, and no formal solicitation currently exists.
