  "account": "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.\n\nPotential 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.",
