The Science Transport & Robotic Innovation for Deployment and Exploration (STRIDE) program is a new program element under the Planetary Science Division (PSD) in the ROSES-2025 solicitation. The program aims to solicit proposals from U.S. industry to conduct design studies of advanced robotic surface and aerial mobility systems with payload transportation and deployment capability for Mars surface operations. The goal of the program is to identify commercial systems that can operate in realistic Martian environments while enabling cost-effective transportation and/or deployment of science payloads. • The program seeks participation from a broad range of providers, including established space hardware developers and terrestrial robotics companies. • Proposals will be encouraged to articulate how their proposed platform could enhance overall science return. • The program aims to identify key capability gaps and help advance the broader landscape of robotic exploration at Mars.
