Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon (PRISM) Appendix F.10 in NASA Research Announcement (NRA) RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2025

The NASA ROSES‑2025 solicitation (NNH25ZDA001N‑PRISM) seeks proposals to develop and fly a science‑driven suite of instruments and supporting technology‑demonstration payloads for deployment on the lunar surface via a Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) lander. Proposals must address at least one science goal of any Science Mission Directorate division (Planetary, Earth, Heliophysics, Astrophysics, Biological or Physical Sciences), align with the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate objectives, and/or meet Space Technology Mission Directorate technology‑demonstration goals that advance lunar science, exploration, or commercial development. Payloads are to be delivered to a justified landing site on the Moon—South Pole locations are permissible, while the North Pole region is excluded. Amendment 31 adds two new required elements: a mandatory Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) plan and an optional extended Master Equipment List and/or Power Equipment List. A recent amendment also requires proposers leveraging “survive‑the‑night” services to include specific information in Section 4.1. The Step‑2 proposal deadline is 20 February 2026 (Step‑1 deadline and mandatory pre‑proposal conference were held 5 December 2025). Questions should be directed to Ryan Watkins and Amanda Nahm (HQ‑PRISM@mail.nasa.gov).
