NASA is looking for partner organisations for the management of the Agency's upcoming night Rover and Nano-Satellite Launcher Centennial challenges. The Centennial challenges are NASA prize contests for conquiste by independent teams who work without public funding.
The challenges are extended to individuals, groups and companies that operate outside the traditional aerospace. Unlike the majority of contracts or grants, awards are made only after they have successfully proven solutions.
"We are looking for allied organizations that recognize the enormous value of these citizen-inventor, entrepreneur, small business and teams of the University carry the engine of innovation in America," said Bobby Braun, NASA's Chief Technologist at NASA headquarters in Washington.
"Centennial Challenges is another catalyst for the United States to out-innovate the rest of the world economy new technology".
Teams competing in the night will be necessary to demonstrate Rover challenge an exploration vehicle solar energy that can operate in darkness, using its stored energy. NASA is offering a scholarship award of $ 1.5 million for the challenge of rover. The challenge of Nano-Satellite Launcher is to put a small satellite into orbit, twice in one week, with a scholarship award of $ 2 million.
The goal of the night Rover challenge is to stimulate innovations in energy storage technologies of value in extreme environments of space, for example the surface of the Moon, or for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems on Earth.
Currently, the solar-powered Mars Rover "go to sleep" during Martian night. NASA hopes the night Rover Challenge will generate new ideas that allow planetary rovers the ability to take on a night shift and possibly create new energy storage technologies for applications on our planet.
The goal of Nano-Satellite Launcher challenge is to stimulate innovations in technology to launch low-cost for frequent access to the orbit while encouraging creation of delivery services of nano-satellite. Reducing the cost of sending reliably small payloads to orbit in a timely manner can create whole new markets for U.S. businesses and provide opportunities for students and researchers to exploit the environment for the development of space technology and innovative problem solving.
Centennial challenge typically include media events and public hearings and may be broadcast on NASA television or streamed online. Website Agency NASA also covers the competitions. Competitions provide opportunity for high visibility in partner organisations and sponsors for public awareness.
NASA chooses nonprofit organizations manage competitions for u.s. proposals in response to Agency opportunity notices available here and here
Organizations able to manage the challenges you are looking for sponsors and teams and conducting advertising and administering contests. Once selected, allied organizations will collaborate with NASA to announce the challenge rules and details on how teams can enter.
Allied organizations generally seek sponsorships of every size monetary and in-kind giving public recognition to the sponsor of the contest. Arrangements for sponsorship of the competition will be negotiated directly between allied organizations and sponsors, and competition can include naming rights for taxpayers.
NASA is also looking for corporate and private sponsors for tether Strong power beaming, and Sample Return flight green Robot challenges. NASA is looking for companies, organizations or individuals interested in sponsoring non-profit organizations that manage Allied Sweepstakes prize.
