back and forth between lunar orbit and 

the lunar surface. Such a vehicle would 

have direct application to NASA’s space 

exploration goals as well as the personal 

spaceflight industry. Additionally, the 

prize will help industry build new 

vehicles and develop the operational 

capacity to operate quick turnaround 

vertical take-off, vertical landing 

vehicles that will be of significant use 

in many facets of the commercial launch 

procurement market. 

II. Challenge Basis and Prize Amount 

To win the $2,000,000 purse, a rocketpropelled vehicle with an assigned 

payload must take-off vertically, climb 

to a defined altitude, fly for a predetermined amount of time, then land 

vertically on a target that is a fixed 

distance from the take-off point. After 

remaining at this location for a period 

of time, the vehicle must take-off, fly for 

the same amount of time, and land again 

on its original launch pad. 

III. Eligibility 

The Centennial Challenges Program 

has established the following language, 

including definitions, governing 

eligibility. Challenge is the Lunar 

Lander Challenge. 

A Team is an individual or private 

entity, or a group of individuals or 

private entities that register to 

participate in Challenge. A Team is 

comprised of a Team Leader and Team 

Members. A Team Leader is, by 

definition, also a Team Member. 

Team Members are participants on the 

Team that are not the Team Leader. To 

be eligible to win the Challenge prize, 

an individual or entity, (a) in the case 

of a private entity, shall be incorporated 

in and maintain a primary place of 

business in the United States, and (b) in 

the case of an individual, whether 

participating individually or as a 

member of a group, shall be a citizen or 

permanent resident of the United States. 

A Team Leader is a single private 

entity or individual which is the sole 

agent representing TEAM regarding its 

participation in Challenge. In the case of 

the Team Leader that is a private entity, 

it must appoint an individual who is an 

officer of the private entity to represent 

the Team Leader. 

All Team Members will apply to 

register for the Challenge through Team 

Leader and must receive written 

concurrence by XPF. 

All Team Members must execute an 

‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’ committing to 

all terms of this Agreement. By signing 

the Agreement, Team Leader represents 

that all Team Members have executed 

the Adoption of Agreement and that no 

one else will become a member of the 

Team or participate in the Challenge 

until such new Team Member has 

signed the Agreement. XPF may 

disqualify any TEAM if it discovers that 

a person is acting as a Team Member 

who has not signed this Agreement. 

Team Leader will provide XPF with a 

copy of the ‘‘Adoption of Agreement’’

signed by each team member. Any U.S. 

Government organization or 

organization principally or substantially 

funded by the Federal Government, 

including Federally Funded Research 

and Development Centers, Governmentowned, contractor operated (GOCO) 

facilities, University Affiliated Research 

Centers, and any employee of such an 

organization acting within the scope of 

his or her employment, are ineligible to 

be a Team Leader or Team Member. 

Team Members may participate in 

Challenge on more than one Team.

In accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–

Foundation (NSF) announces its intent 

to hold proposal review meetings 

throughout the year. The purpose of 

these meetings is to provide advice and 

recommendations concerning proposals 

submitted to the NSF for financial 

support. The agenda for each of these 

meetings is to review and evaluate 

proposals as part of the selection 

process for awards. The review and 

evaluation may also include assessment 

of the progress of awarded proposals. 

The majority of these meetings will take 

place at NSF, 4201 Wilson Blvd., 

Arlington, Virginia 22230. 

These meetings will be closed to the 

public. The proposals being reviewed 

include information of a proprietary or 

confidential nature, including technical 

information; financial data, such as 

salaries; and personal information 

concerning individuals associated with 

the proposals. These matters are exempt 

under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), (4) and (6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act. NSF 

will continue to review the agenda and 

merits of each meeting for overall 

compliance of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. 

These closed proposal review 

meetings will not be announced on an 

individual basis in the Federal Register. 

NSF intends to publish a notice similar 

to this on a quarterly basis. For an
