MatISSE
Maturation of Instruments for Solar System Exploration (MatISSE)
The DraMS (mass spectrometer) and DraGNS (Gamma-Ray and Neutron Spectrometer) Instruments have heritage from the MatISSE program
Typical Solicitation Timeline (every EVEN year ’20, ’22, ‘24):
- ROSES Solicitation Release – February
- Step 1 Proposals Submitted – April
- Step 2 Proposals Submitted – July
- Panel Reviews – September
Solicitation Overview:
- MatISSE supports the development of spacecraft-based instruments for use on future planetary missions (all destinations except lunar)
- The MatISSE program goal is to develop science instruments to the point where they may be proposed to future flight opportunity announcements (i.e. SIMPLEx, Discovery, New Frontiers, Mars Exploration, and other planetary programs, including those flown on commercial spacecraft) without additional technology development
- MatISSE supports TRL maturation from TRL 4 to TRL 6
- MatISSE seeks to mature instruments that support Planetary Science Division’s strategic goals and objectives
