Details
Following the review of entries for the UK Space Agency’s
Statement of Intent (SOI) Phase for participation in a bilateral
Space Science and Space Exploration (SS&SE) mission, we are
pleased to invite you to proceed to the next stage and submit a
full proposal.
Please note this is only open for proposals which were successful
at the SOI phase.
The new bilateral programme is for involvements in Space Science
and Space Exploration missions with international partners. This
Announcement of Opportunity (AO) invites proposals in three
categories:
-
Category A: Proposals (by invitation only, following the
recently completed SOI assessment) for participation in
bilateral (or multilateral) space science and exploration
(SS&SE) missions/mission candidates, which are already in
advanced state of discussion, and which require funding
throughout the current CSR period. This is expected to
include partnership on science instrument developments and/or
data processing developments for the data pipeline, on
missions led by another space agency.
-
Category B: Proposals from teams wishing to study new
bilateral SS&SE mission concepts and convert them to full
proposals, which could be submitted for future calls after
2022. Funding would be for teams requiring short term (3
months up to 31 March 2023)
-
Category C: Proposals from institutions seeking to provide
expert training and support, including early concurrent
design activities) to new teams wishing to develop ideas for
bilateral SS&SE missions for submission to future Calls.
One grant will be awarded (this is likely to be a one-off
setup package, comprising start-up/FTE costs to approximately
£100k for the period January to March 2023).
Please see the documents for further guidance.
