Docking occurred at 11:06 p.m. (CST) on Feb. 9, 2010, delivering the Tranquility node and its Cupola.

ANNOUNCEMENT NUMBER: NNH24ZHA004C
Release Date: January 10, 2024; Proposal Due Date: April 15, 2024

The NASA Office of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Engagement (OSTEM), in cooperation with the International Space Station (ISS) Research Office, Space Operations Mission Directorate (SOMD), Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate
(ESDMD), Science Mission Directorates (SMD), Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD), and NASA’s nine Centers, plus NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), solicits proposals for the NASA EPSCoR ISS Flight Opportunity.

Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposal is expected to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to the strategic research and technology development priorities of one or more of NASA’s Mission Directorates, and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development of the jurisdiction receiving funding. Each selected NASA EPSCoR flight project shall perform scientific and/or technical research in areas that support NASA’s strategic research and technology development priorities. Proposals shall emphasize how a flight in microgravity will influence/improve the results/quality of any ground-based research.
