[i]In response to Vice President Mike Pence's recent announcement directing NASA to return humans to the surface of the Moon by 2024, NASA has assessed options for meeting this challenge by accelerating development of the Human Landing System. Accordingly, NASA intends to release a solicitation under the second Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP-2) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) in late May, 2019, to seek proposals from industry for the development of integrated human lunar landers and execution of crewed flight demonstrations to the lunar surface by 2024. The primary objective of this NextSTEP-2 Appendix H BAA (HLS - Integrated Lander), is to: enable the rapid development of individual lander elements such as a Descent Element, Ascent Element, and Transfer Vehicle; achieve the integration of these elements into a safe and functional human landing system that can meet NASA and industry requirements; and execute a crewed demonstration mission of that human landing system to the Moon. Contracts awarded under Appendix H may have multiple phases including but not limited to Design, Development, Test, and Evaluation of the applicable lander elements.[/i]
