Fission Surface Power System - Technical Library

Description

This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) is establishing the Technical Library for all potential offerors to the Fission Surface Power (FSP) System Announcment for Partnership Proposals (AFPP). It is expected that the Technical Library will be updated periodically through the acquisition period. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor the website for updates to the technical library. Fission Surface Power System Background Fission surface power (FSP) is both an essential and sustainable segment of the lunar and Mars power architectures for future human space exploration missions. NASA intends to advance this critical technology to be able to support a future lunar economy and power generation on Mars. The Fission Surface Power System is expected to operate on the lunar surface in proximity to crewed and uncrewed lunar assets, including human-rated landers, rovers, and pressurized habitats. The objective of the Fission Surface Power System effort is to energize the space industrial base to support a future lunar economy through the deployment of advanced fission power technology to the surface of the moon. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE. This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract. 12/5/25 All previous uploaded zip files have been deleted and replaced with individual documents.
