NASA issued a request for information (RFI) Feb. 15 for a proposed spacecraft called the NASA Science/Technology Platform Satellite, or NSTP-Sat. 
The RFI was the first time NASA had publicly discussed such a mission. 
The RFI period ends on March 17.

Sounds like an opportunity for STEM and communications.
