4. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE AN IMPROVED UNIVERSAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (UWMS). UWMS SUPPORTS THE ADVANCED EXPLORATION SYSTEMS (AES) PROGRAM'S GOALS OF DEVELOPING AND TESTING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPORT HUMAN LONG-TERM, DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION. THE UWMS IS MEANT TO PROVIDE A ROBUST, RELIABLE AND FLEXIBLE SOLUTION TO VARIED MISSION PROFILES. PROCUREMENT OF THE UWMS SUPPORTS THE ADVANCED EXPLORATION SYSTEMS (AES) PROGRAM'S GOALS OF DEVELOPING AND TESTING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPORT HUMAN LONG-TERM, DEEP-SPACE EXPLORATION. THE UWMS IS MEANT TO PROVIDE A ROBUST, RELIABLE, AND FLEXIBLE SOLUTION TO VARIED MISSION PROFILES. DEMONSTRATING THE UWMS FIRST ON THE ISS REDUCES RISK FOR FOLLOW ON UNITS SUPPORTING HUMAN LONG-TERM, DEEP-SPACE EXPLORATION. NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT (NRA) NNJ13ZBG001N WAS RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 14, 2012 SOLICITING PROPOSALS FOR EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS AND NATIONAL LAB UTILIZATION ENHANCEMENTS. ONE OF THE NRA AREAS OF INTEREST WAS HUMAN WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITH THE FOLLOWING CAPABILITIES: CAPABLE OF COLLECTING URINE, FECAL, MENSTRUAL, AND EMESIS WASTE IN A MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT AND CONTROLLING ODOR. ALLOW COMMONALITY BETWEEN DIFFERENT VEHICLES WITH MINOR MAINTENANCE OR RECONFIGURATION. SUPPORT MISSIONS BETWEEN ONE WEEK AND INDEFINITE LENGTH WITH PERIODIC QUIESCENT PERIODS. ALLOW TRANSFER OF COLLECTED WASTE TO BOTH STORAGE AND DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING. SYSTEM SHALL HAVE VERY LOW AIR INCLUSION IN THE URINE BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN INSTALLED EQUIPMENT MASS$28.6M

5. NASA IS SOLICITING PROPOSALS FOR SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS THAT MIGHT REVEAL ANSWERS ABOUT LUNAR RESOURCES THAT COULD SUPPORT THE AGENCY'S JOURNEY TO MARS. NASA WOULD SPONSOR THE INSTRUMENTS TO FLY ON A LUNAR ORBITER DESIGNED BY THE KOREA AEROSPACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (KARI). THE SPACECRAFT, THE KOREA PATHFINDER LUNAR ORBITER (KPLO), IS SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH IN DECEMBER 2018, AND IS PART OF KARI'S KOREA LUNAR EXPLORATION PROGRAM, WHICH AIMS TO ROBOTICALLY EXPLORE THE MOON THROUGH A SERIES OF ORBITER AND LANDER MISSIONS, STARTING WITH THE KPLO. KARI, HEADQUARTERED IN DAEJEON, SOUTH KOREA, PROVIDED NASA WITH ABOUT 33 POUNDS (15 KILOGRAMS) OF PAYLOAD MASS ABOARD THE KPLO, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO LAUNCH INTO LUNAR ORBIT IN DECEMBER 2018. IN SEPTEMBER 2016, NASA ISSUED A SOLICITATION SEEKING SCIENCE INSTRUMENTS THAT COULD INCREASE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF VOLATILES, SUCH AS WATER, INCLUDING THE MOVEMENT OF SUCH RESOURCES TOWARD PERMANENTLY SHADOWED REGIONS AND HOW THEY BECOME TRAPPED THERE. SHADOWCAM WILL MAP THE REFLECTANCE WITHIN THE PERMANENTLY SHADOWED REGIONS TO SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE OF FROST OR ICE DEPOSITS. THE INSTRUMENT'S OPTICAL CAMERA IS BASED ON THE LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER NARROW ANGLE CAMERA, BUT IS 800 TIMES MORE SENSITIVE, ALLOWING IT TO OBTAIN HIGH-RESOLUTION, HIGH SIGNAL-TO-NOISE IMAGING OF THE MOON'S PERMANENTLY SHADOWED REGIONS. SHADOWCAM WILL OBSERVE THE PSRS MONTHLY TO DETECT SEASONAL CHANGES AND MEASURE THE TERRAIN INSIDE THE CRATERS, INCLUDING THE DISTRIBUTION OF BOULDERS. NASA'S ADVANCED EXPLORATION SYSTEMS DIVISION (AES) LED THE PAYLOAD SOLICITATION AND SELECTION FOR THE NASA INSTRUMENT ON KPLO. A DIVISION OF THE HUMAN EXPLORATION AND OPERATIONS MISSION DIRECTORATE, AES USES INNOVATIVE APPROACHES AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO RAPIDLY DEVELOP PROTOTYPE SYSTEMS, ADVANCE KEY CAPABILITIES, AND VALIDATE OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS FOR FUTURE HUMAN MISSIONS BEYOND EARTH ORBIT. THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY WITH KARI, AES IS ADDRESSING KEY LUNAR SKGS WHILE COMPLEMENTING KARI'S PRIMARY MISSION OBJECTIVES AND INSTRUMENTS.$20.5M

6. RECOVERY OF POTABLE WATER FROM WASTEWATER IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF LONG-DURATION HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT. FOR HUMAN MISSIONS TO MARS, THE TECHNOLOGY MATURATION (TA 207) OBJECTIVE IS TO RECOVER GREATER THAN 98 PERCENT OF THE WATER FROM WASTEWATER SOURCES (URINE, HUMIDITY CONDENSATE, ETC.). THIS CONTRACT IS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF IONOMER-MEMBRANE WATER PROCESSOR (IWP) BRINE PROCESSOR FOR FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS). REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BRINE PROCESSOR WILL BE BASELINED BY NASA AND AGREED TO BY THE CONTRACTOR UNDER THE PHASE III SBIR NNX16CJ02C. AN ISS FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION IS NEEDED TO VALIDATE AND FULLY CHARACTERIZE BRINE PROCESSOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IN A RELEVANT ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE EXPLORATION MISSIONS. THE RELEVANT ENVIRONMENT IN THIS CASE INCLUDES BOTH MICRO-GRAVITY AND LONG-DURATION EXPOSURE TO MICRO-G CREW-PRODUCED BRINE VIA THE URINE PROCESSOR. THE BRINE PROCESSOR WILL BE FLOWN AS A CLASS 1E PIECE OF HARDWARE. TASKS INCLUDE 1) COMPLETE TECHNOLOGY MATURATION OF KEY COMPONENT SUBSYSTEMS OF THE IWP FROM THE PHASE III SBIR INCLUDING BLADDER HEAT SEALING, LOW-PROFILE SIDE-MOUNTED FILL PORT, DETRUSOR AND SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY WITH INADVERTENT EXPOSURE TO 14.7 PSIG DURING BRINE FILL; 2) SYSTEM DESIGN CYCLE INCLUDING HEATER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT TRADE; 3) INTEGRATED SYSTEM AND COMPONENT PRELIMINARY DESIGN; 4) INTEGRATED SYSTEM AND COMPONENT FINAL DESIGN AND REVIEW; 5) MANUFACTURING OF ONE COMPLETE IWP ASSEMBLY, 42 BLADDERS (18 FOR QUALIFICATION TESTING AND 24 FOR FLIGHT), ONE NON-OPERATING TRAINING UNIT WITH SPARES; 6) PROTOFLIGHT QUALIFICATION TESTING AND BLADDER ACCEPTANCE TESTING; 7) HARDWARE ACCEPTANCE REVIEW AND DELIVERY OF A BRINE PROCESSOR AND ASSOCIATED CONSUMABLES, FOR AN ISS TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION; 8) POST-DELIVERY AND ON-ORBIT SUPPORT WHICH INCLUDES GENERATION OF OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK FOR USE BY NASA IN SUPPORT OF CREW TRAINING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ON-ORBIT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE, CREW TRAINING SUPPORT, AND ON-ORBIT OPERATIONS SUPPORT AND SUPPORT WITH NASA ON-ORBIT ANOMALY RESOLUTION AND GENERATION OF AN ON-ORBIT TEST REPORT WITH LESSONS LEARNED AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS.$13.9M

8. BAA R&D - THE NEXT SPACE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXPLORATION PARTNERSHIPS -2 (NEXTSTEP-2) APPENDIX F: LOGISTICS REDUCTION (LR) IN SPACE BY TRASH COMPACTION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM (TCPS) BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED JULY 3, 2018. PROPOSALS WERE RECEIVED AND EVALUATED AND SELECTIONS OF SUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS ANNOUNCED OCTOBER 5, 2018. NASA ISSUED THIS SOLICITATION TO SOLICIT IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO ADVANCE TRASH COMPACTION AND PROCESSING (TCPS) CAPABILITIES. TRASH PROCESSING ENABLES REDUCTION IN MASS, VOLUME, AND THE CREW TIME DEDICATED TO LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT. THE CURRENT APPROACH TO TRASH MANAGEMENT ENTAILS MANUALLY COMPACTING, TEMPORARILY STORING IT, AND THEN DISPOSING OF THE TRASH EITHER BY RETURN TO EARTH OR INCINERATION DURING REENTRY IN A DISPOSABLE SUPPLY VEHICLE. LONG DISTANCES FROM EARTH AND LENGTHY DURATIONS WITH LIMITED OR NO RESUPPLY WILL CHARACTERIZE FUTURE HUMAN MISSIONS. RETURNING TRASH TO EARTH WILL BE IMPRACTICAL, JETTISONING DURING THE MISSION CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VALUABLE RECOVERABLE RESOURCES AND DISPOSING OF IT LOCALLY MAY POSE A PLANETARY PROTECTION RISK, IF LEFT UNTREATED..NASA NEEDS A SYSTEM THAT CAN HANDLE ASTRONAUT TRASH IN SITU RATHER THAN DISPOSING OF IT OVERBOARD. HOWEVER, STORING TRASH INSIDE A SPACECRAFT CREATES PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS FOR THE CREW, CONSUMES CRITICAL HABITAT VOLUME, AND SEQUESTERS POTENTIALLY VALUABLE RESOURCES. THIS WAS ONE OF THE SUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS FOR RESEARCH CONTRACTS IN AREAS FOR DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND TESTING OF CRITICAL COMPONENTS FOR A TCPS THAT COMPACTS TRASH TO REDUCE STORAGE VOLUME, RENDERS IT BIOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY SAFE AND STABLE, RECOVERS TRAPPED RESOURCES, AND FORMS RESIDUAL MATERIAL INTO A STORABLE, POTENTIALLY USEFUL PRODUCT.$12.5M
