Overview

Overview

NASA is soliciting proposals from all interested U.S. private sector enterprises that wish to enter into a Reimbursable Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) for Partnerships for Commercial Optical Communication Systems (PCOCS). The purpose of these agreements is to advance commercial space-related efforts by facilitating access to NASA's spaceflight resources including technical expertise, assessments, lessons learned, and data. With this activity, NASA intends to focus on facilitating the development of integrated optical communications space capabilities. Examples of this capabilities include, but are not limited to, ground station management; flight and ground optical systems; ground network deployment; and space and ground terminal facilities operations.

The objective of PCOCS Agreements is to advance private sector development of integrated space capabilities so that the emerging products or services are commercially available to government and non-government customers within approximately the next five years.
