NASA is particularly interested in innovative, secondary communications capabilities that can enable robust, high rate data return from the Orion crew vehicle during operations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by NASA's Moon to Mars (M2M) Program, and aims to identify mature services and user terminals that can augment Orion's primary communication system. Respondents are invited to submit end-to-end system concepts that could provide continuous, high bandwidth transmission of mission data in the dynamic LEO environment and contribute to the success of crewed space exploration under the Artemis program. Section 2 – RFI Overview 2.1 The Artemis III Mission The Artemis III mission will launch crew in the Orion spacecraft atop the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and the commercial spacecraft needed to land astronauts on the Moon. Artemis III will test integrated rendezvous and proximity operations between the Orion spacecraft and one or bot…
