Enabling Technology for Future Missions

Solicitation # 9F063-20260085

The Canadian Space Agency is soliciting fixed-price proposals under the Space Technology Development Program to develop and advance one to three priority enabling technologies for future space missions. The primary goal is to increase Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) to reduce technical uncertainties and support the implementation of strategic Canadian space activities. The three priority technologies include a lightweight athermal reflecting telescope for CubeSats, readout electronics for large mosaic focal plane arrays of astronomical low light imagers, and technologies for a terrestrial snow mass mission. Maximum funding is capped at 1,000,000 CAD for the telescope and readout electronics, and 2,000,000 CAD for the snow mass mission technology. The project has a planned duration of 16 months and follows a milestone-based payment schedule including a kick-off meeting, preliminary and detailed design reviews, a test readiness review, and a final review. Key deliverables include hardware such as a reflecting telescope brassboard at TRL 5, CAD and performance analysis models, and a technology roadmap to reach TRL 6 to 8. Award selection is based on a combined rating of 60 percent technical merit and 40 percent price, with a minimum technical score of 70 points required for consideration. This solicitation is restricted to Canadian suppliers and requires strict adherence to security screening, intellectual property disclosures, and the use of the ISEP portal for sensitive data transfers.
