NLRA 2024-6: In-space Production Applications: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing - ISS National Lab NLRA 2024-6: In-space Production Applications: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing - ISS National Lab National Lab Research Announcement In-space Production Applications: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing The purpose of this ISS International Space Station National Lab Research Announcement ( NLRA The abbreviation for an ISS National Lab Research Announcement.
NLRAs are one of the ISS National Lab’s primary mechanisms to solicit proposals in specific research areas.
) is to solicit proposals for applied research and development seeking to demonstrate space-based manufacturing and production activities of advanced materials or technologies only attainable in microgravity The condition of perceived weightlessness created when an object is in free fall, for example when an object is in orbital motion.
Microgravity alters many observable phenomena within the physical and life sciences, allowing scientists to study things in ways not possible on Earth. The International Space Station provides access to a persistent microgravity environment. .
Flight projects selected via this research announcement may be awarded funding to support the development, and mission integration and operations for projects that will be implemented on the ISS.
Go to Application Process NLRA / NSF Solicitation #: In-space Production Applications (Abbreviation: InSPA) InSPA is an applied research and development program sponsored by NASA and the ISS National Lab aimed at demonstrating space-based manufacturing and production activities by using the unique space environment to develop, test, or mature products and processes that could have an economic impact.

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space™ ( CASIS™ (Abbreviation: CASIS™) The nonprofit organization that manages the ISS National Lab, which receives at least 50 percent of the U.S. research allocation on the International Space Station to facilitate research that benefits humanity (NASA manages the other 50% and focuses on research for space exploration purposes).
), in coordination with NASA, has identified multiple ISS National Lab lines of business that support strategic priorities and programmatic focus areas aimed at bringing value to our nation and enabling a robust and scalable market in low Earth orbit (Abbreviation: LEO) The orbit around the Earth that extends up to an altitude of 2,000 km (1,200 miles) from Earth’s surface.
The International Space Station’s orbit is in LEO, at an altitude of approximately 250 miles. (LEO). For the in-space production applications line of business, research concepts are desired for which space-based testing can uniquely enable technical solutions to known science and engineering challenges and the creation of new products and business opportunities.
The objective is to use the unique ISS environment to develop, test, or mature products and processes that have a demonstrated potential to produce near-term, positive direct or indirect economic impact. Steps to Applying for This Research Opportunity This research announcement will follow a two-step proposal submission process.
Before being invited to submit a full proposal, all interested investigators must first complete and submit for review a Step 1: Concept Summary.
