Request for information (RFI):

NASA’s Office of Education has released an RFI for of a distributed university-based, student-led satellite development initiative, the American Student Moon Orbiter (ASMO). They are seeking input from appropriate officials and decision-makers from colleges, universities, and potential industry contributors with experience in university-level, student-led flight projects focusing on spaceflight satellite and/or payload development, payload integration, spacecraft and/or payload launch, mission operations, or scientific data analysis. For more information please visit http://asmo.arc.nasa.gov/RFI.
