Abstract: The system of equations [ u_1p_1^2 + ldots + u_sp_s^2 = 0 ] [ v_1p_1^3 + ldots + v_sp_s^3 = 0 ] has prime solutions $(p_1,ldots,p_s)$ for $sgeq12$, assuming that the system has solutions modulo each prime $p$. This is proved via the Hardy-Littlewood circle method, building on Wooley's work on the corresponding system over the integers and recent results on Vinogradov's mean value theorem. Additionally, a set of sufficient conditions for local solvability is given: If both equations are solvable modulo 2, the quadratic equation is solvable modulo 3, and for each prime $p$ at least 7 of each of the $u_i$, $v_i$ are not zero modulo $p$, then the system has solutions modulo each prime $p$.
