Details

Following the review of entries for the UK Space Agency’s Statement of Intent (SOI) Phase for participation in a bilateral Space Science and Space Exploration (SS&SE) mission, we are pleased to invite you to proceed to the next stage and submit a full proposal.

Please note this is only open for proposals which were successful at the SOI phase.

The new bilateral programme is for involvements in Space Science and Space Exploration missions with international partners. This Announcement of Opportunity (AO) invites proposals in three categories:

  • Category A: Proposals (by invitation only, following the recently completed SOI assessment) for participation in bilateral (or multilateral) space science and exploration (SS&SE) missions/mission candidates, which are already in advanced state of discussion, and which require funding throughout the current CSR period. This is expected to include partnership on science instrument developments and/or data processing developments for the data pipeline, on missions led by another space agency.

  • Category B: Proposals from teams wishing to study new bilateral SS&SE mission concepts and convert them to full proposals, which could be submitted for future calls after 2022. Funding would be for teams requiring short term (3 months up to 31 March 2023)

  • Category C: Proposals from institutions seeking to provide expert training and support, including early concurrent design activities) to new teams wishing to develop ideas for bilateral SS&SE missions for submission to future Calls. One grant will be awarded (this is likely to be a one-off setup package, comprising start-up/FTE costs to approximately £100k for the period January to March 2023).

Please see the documents for further guidance.
