National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) is a partner with NASA for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM). The partnership arrangement calls for NASDA to provide a Dual Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) and launch services for the Primary GPM spacecraft. NASA's contribution to the partnership will include the Primary spacecraft bus, a microwave radiometer and integration of all instruments, including the DPR, onto the Primary spacecraft. Both countries will support the GPM Science Team. As the lead partner NASA has overall responsibility for planning and to ensure Program success. Engineering expertise and knowledge of the processes used by NASDA for technical developments is also required to ensure that correct interpretations are made for written and verbal communications between engineers and scientists in the U.S. and Japan. These technical communications will address science issues, instrument design, development, spacecraft integration and test, launch of the spacecraft, and the development of compatible ground data systems. The intent of this procuremet is to ensure expert advice and effective support is available to the GPM Project for day-to-day interactions with NASDA. This will assist in the effective management of the program and, ensure that accurate interfaces between NASA and NASDA elements are developed , and ensure that in all respects a mutually beneficial partnership is achieved between the U.S. and Japanese team members.
