Amendment 79: New Opportunity: B.8 Heliophysics Spaceflight Science Foundations
The Heliophysics Spaceflight Science Foundations (SSF) program (B.8 of ROSES) solicits investigations that enable the formulation of high-impact spaceflight science projects with a cost-effective implementation. This program element targets the two highest-priority future spaceflight projects identified in the 2024 Heliophysics Decadal Survey: On or about October8, 2026, ROSES-2025 Amendment 79…
Amendment 79 introduces a new opportunity, B.8 Heliophysics Spaceflight Science Foundations (SSF), part of the ROSES-25 budget. This program aims to facilitate the development of high-impact spaceflight science projects with cost-effective implementation. Two primary projects under SSF are highlighted: "Links," which focuses on studying dynamic couplings and connections across regions and scales in the near-Earth space environment, and "Solar Polar," dedicated to understanding the Sun's global dynamics, solar dynamo mechanisms, and its behavior throughout the solar cycle.
Potential proposers have the chance to participate in a virtual telecon on October 26 at 2 pm Eastern Time for more information. The Step-1 proposals are due on November 20, 2026, followed by Step-2 proposals by February 5, 2027. For any questions regarding B.8 SSF, interested parties can reach out to Kelly Korreck via email at hq-hpd-ssf@mail.nasa.gov.
