During the Government shutdown, the proposal due dates for three ROSES programs were set to TBD in order for Government proposers to have time to prepare their submissions. Now that the Government has resumed work, new due dates have been set for these programs. In addition, new proposal due dates have been set for two programs with original due dates in the near future. Updated due dates are as follows:
The proposal due date for Appendix C.12, the Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP), had been October 4, 2013, but was delayed during the Government shutdown. The new due date for proposals is Wednesday, October 23, 2013.
The Step-2proposal due date for Appendix B.5, Heliophysics Grand Challenges Research Program (HGCR), had been October 11, 2013, but was delayed during the Government shutdown. The new due date for proposals is Thursday, October 31, 2013.
The proposal due date for Appendix C.11, the Planetary Mission Analysis Program (PMDAP), had been October 11, 2013, but was delayed during the Government shutdown. The new due date for proposals is Monday, October 28, 2013.
The proposal due date for Appendix A.11 Ocean Vector Winds Science Team (OVWST) had been October 31, 2013. The new due date for proposals is Friday, November 15, 2013.
The proposal due date for Appendix C.7 Outer Planets Research (OPR) had been November 1, 2013. The new due date for proposals is Friday, November 15, 2013.
On or about October 18, 2013, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2013" (NNH13ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and will appear on the RSS feed at: http://nasascience.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2013 .

Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online
NASA said its Orion multipurpose crew vehicle had a flawless test on Wednesday, taking the spacecraft one step closer to its first trip to space next year.
During the test, three massive panels protecting a test version of Orion successfully fell away from the spacecraft. This system will help to protect Orion during its trip to space.
The panels, or fairings, encase Orions service module and protect it from the heat, wind and acoustics experienced during launch. This module will contain the in-space propulsion capability for orbital transfer, altitude control and high-altitude ascent aborts when Orion begins carrying humans in 2021.
[ Watch the video: Orion Spacecraft - Sending Humans To Mars ]
The service module will be able to generate and store power, as well as provide thermal control, water and air for the astronauts working inside the spacecraft. The module will remain connected to the crew module until just before the capsule returns back to Earth.
Hardware separation events like this are absolutely critical to the mission and some of the more complicated things we do, Mark Geyer, Orion program manager at NASAs Johnson Space Center in Houston, said in a statement. We want to know weve got the design exactly right and that it can be counted on in space before we ever launch.
The panels are designed to help support half of the weight of Orions crew module and launch abort systems during launch and ascent. They will help improve performance, save weight and maximize the size and capability of the spacecraft.

NASA Says Recent Orion Crew Vehicle Test Fire Was 'Flawless'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA Administrator Charles Bolden will discuss the success of the agency's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) initiative during a televised news briefing at 11:30 a.m. EST Wednesday, Nov. 13.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO)
Through COTS, NASA's partners Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) and Orbital Sciences Corp., developed new U.S. rockets and spacecraft, launched from U.S. soil, capable of transporting cargo to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station.
A successful Orbital Sciences demonstration mission to the space station was completed in October, signifying the end of COTS development. SpaceX made its first trip to the space station in May 2012 and completed its COTS partnership with NASA the same year. The agency now contracts space station cargo resupply missions with both companies.
The briefing will be held in the James E. Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters at 300 E St. SW in Washington. It will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's website.
The participants will be:
Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator Alan Lindenmoyer, Manager of Commercial Crew and Cargo Program, NASAGwynne Shotwell, President, SpaceX Frank Culbertson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Orbital Sciences Advanced Programs GroupFrank Slazer, Vice President of Space Systems, Aerospace Industries AssociationPhil McAlister, Director of Commercial Spaceflight Development, NASA
Media may ask questions from participating NASA centers or by telephone. To participate by phone, reporters must contact Trent Perrotto at 202-358-1100 or trent.j.perrotto@nasa.gov by 10 a.m. Wednesday.
