The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to obtain "Professional and Research and Development Services" from Canadian universities, companies and not-for-profit organizations, to plan and execute Analogue Missions. Analogue missions are simulations of space mission operations that take place at analogue sites on Earth; these can also be thought of as integrated field tests. A terrestrial analogue site resembles in some key way (e.g. geomorphologically or geochemically) a surface or subsurface environment of another planet. Herein, Analogue Mission can be defined as an integrated set of activities that represent (or simulate) entire mission designs or narrowly focus on specific aspects of planned or potential future planetary exploration missions.
