A.48 Commercial Satellite Data Earth Science Research and Applications (CESRA) was established to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial sources that support NASA's Earth science research and application goals. NASA's Earth Science Division (ESD) recognizes the potential impact commercial small-satellite constellations may have in encouraging/enabling efficient approaches to advancing Earth System Science and applications development for societal benefit.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 97 defers the due dates for A.48 CESRA . Step-1 proposals are now due February 14, 2025, and Step-2 proposals are now due April 9, 2025.

On or about January 14, 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024
