Calls for Space Activities

This Rakia Mission Call for Proposals (RMCP), issued by both the Rakia Mission and the Israel Space Agency, at the Israeli Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology solicits scientific and technology research proposals to be conducted in the microgravity environment onboard the International Space Station, both autonomous and astronaut-operation-needed activities.

This solicitation will consider ANY area of science/technology which can be performed at the International Space Station, with the exception of clinical studies that involve sample collections from astronauts, inclusive of blood, urine, and stool. A separate call for proposals for clinical studies will be published.
