Get ready for an exciting lunar mission! NASA's F.10 PRISM project is all set to take off, and we've got some crucial updates for you. The future of lunar exploration is here, and it's time to dive into the details!
F.10 PRISM, or Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon, is an ambitious initiative. It aims to develop and deploy a suite of scientific instruments and technology demonstrations on the Moon's surface. These instruments will address the scientific goals of various NASA divisions, including the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate and the Space Technology Mission Directorate. The ultimate goal? To advance our capabilities for scientific research, exploration, and even commercial development on the Moon.
But here's where it gets controversial... or at least, where we want to ensure clarity. A recent update to the F.10 PRISM guidelines has added a new requirement for proposers. If you're planning to leverage survive-the-night services, you'll need to provide additional information as outlined in Section 4.1. This update is a critical reminder of the unique challenges of lunar missions, where surviving the lunar night is a complex engineering feat.
To help potential proposers, NASA has also updated the FAQ section. This resource is a must-read for anyone considering a proposal, as it provides valuable insights and clarifications. And if you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the F.10 PRISM team at HQ-PRISM@mail.nasa.gov. Ryan Watkins and Amanda Nahm are there to assist you.
And this is the part most people miss: today, December 5, 2025, at 1 pm Eastern Time, there's a pre-proposal teleconference. It's your chance to get all the details and ask questions directly. The connection information is provided below, so make sure to join and be a part of this historic mission!
