Science Transport & Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration (STRIDE) Program in NASA Research Announcement (NRA): RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE AND EARTH SCIENCES (ROSES) 2025
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate, through the Planetary Science Division’s Mars Exploration Program, is soliciting proposals for the Science Transport & Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration (STRIDE) program. This initiative involves conducting design studies for advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems equipped with payload transportation and deployment capabilities for Mars surface operations. For certain projects, the scope includes early-stage prototyping of hardware to support these mission objectives. The opportunity is classified under PSC AR11 for space R&D services, space flight, research and supporting activities, and basic research.
Solicitation NNH25ZDA001N-STRIDE is part of the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025 announcement. The response deadline for this special notice is April 1, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Erica Montbach. Recent amendments to the solicitation have updated the program text and provided summaries of changes through supplemental documentation. The official record includes five attachments: STRIDE3rdemail.pdf, the full text of the solicitation, 2ndEmail.pdf, the SAM Notice for ROSES-25 NRA, and 1st email.pdf.
Proposals are specifically sought from U.S. industry to advance mobility and deployment technologies for planetary exploration. NASA may periodically issue clarifications, frequently asked questions, or access details for virtual meetings through its integrated review and evaluation system. All finalized program requirements and technical summaries are contained within the updated solicitation text and its associated email attachments.
