Summary

AI-generated · Dec 18, 2025

Advanced notice that the Mars Exploration Program may solicit U.S. industry proposals to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capabilities for Mars surface operations, and, where applicable, early-stage prototyping of hardware for the same purpose. This potential opportunity is tied to the STRIDE program under the ROSES 2025 framework.

The focus would be on developing robotic platforms—both ground and air—that can move, transport payloads, and deploy equipment on Mars, with possible early hardware prototypes to demonstrate concepts. This is an advance notice of a potential future solicitation from NASA’s Planetary Science Division.

The attached PDF file labeled 1stEmail is text that the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) sent to Science Mission Directorate (SMD) List Serv subscribers. Please open and read carefully the 1st email for an advanced notice from SMD s Planetary Science Division s (PSD) Mars Exploration Program (MEP). If approved, PSD may solicit proposals from U. S. industry to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capability for Mars surface operations and, where applicable, early stage prototyping of hardware for the same purpose.
