Opportunity to Contribute to AMMOS
MGSS is continually searching for innovative ways to improve AMMOS and is interested in hearing:
- Ideas to improve current tools and services of AMMOS
- Needs for new capabilities in support of future NASA missions
- Existing tools or services that could be integrated into AMMOS in support of multiple NASA missions
- Ideas for operations-focused research and technology for infusion into AMMOS
If you can contribute to any of the above, please contact the MGSS Strategic Planning Manager Jody Gunn at johanna.m.gunn@jpl.nasa.gov or the AMMOS Technology Manager Jay Wyatt at e.jay.wyatt@jpl.nasa.gov.
Selection and Funding of New Capabilities
The process to select and fund new capabilities or enhancements to AMMOS is conducted every 2 years via the biennial Call for Ideas. Submissions are selected based on their alignment with the AMMOS strategic goals and the needs of current and future missions. Major steps of the process include:
- A Call for Ideas to improve or contribute to AMMOS goes out in the fall
- NASA employees from all Centers and employees of NASA partner organizations are invited to submit their AMMOS ideas via an online template in response to the initial call (Abstract phase)
- If the idea meets the criteria for the future direction of AMMOS, the submitter will be teamed with a member of the MGSS to refine the proposal in preparation for evaluation and review by the AMMOS Project Users Group (Proposal Phase)
- Accepted ideas are evaluated against AMMOS needs and the 6-year funding profile
- Selection of the final proposals occurs the following spring
If you have a tool or service that can be used in a multimission environment for either Deep Space or Astrophysics missions and are not sure if this process is the right path for you, please contact the Assistant Program Manager for Strategic Planning to discuss your options:
