Next-Generation Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) Systems for Space Power Generation

A Next-Generation Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (NG-RTG) Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) is planned for July 24, 2018. A registration form and the draft agenda for the NG-RTG TIM are posted with this notice. The Sources Sought Notice (SSN) respondents and interested parties are encouraged to complete and submit the NG-RTG TIM registration form by July 16, 2018. The purpose of the TIM is to share NASA's plans across the community as well as foster an exchange of technical capabilities within the community. The government believes a multi-discipline, multi-organizational, team will be required to answer the current SSN and any potential future solicitation. This TIM is meant to foster discussions amongst the community to that end. The agenda for the NG-RTG TIM includes a review of Government plans, offers SSN respondents and other NG-RTG TIM attendees time to present non-proprietary information to the community, and provides time for individual Government to industry discussions (one on one discussions). A table for poster board presentations will be provided. Box lunch order forms will be provided to registrants at a later date. If you plan to attend remotely (through webex) please indicate this on the registration form. Additional information related to this SSN and the NG-RTG TIM event will be posted on FedBizOpps, as it becomes available.
