- Description
- NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Formulation Office, is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) for the purpose of soliciting information regarding the budgetary information for use in upcoming hardware systems trades related to the flight communication transceiver, GPS and communication data formatting cards. The information obtained will allow the GPM program to complete trades and proceed with a Request for Proposal for the procurement of flight communication and navigation hardware. The GPM Communication Transceiver is described in the attached Configuration Requirements Document. Response to this RFI shall include, but is not limited to, the following information: a) What grade of parts will be used for the transceiver? Please specify selected grade and screening methods. In the case of past performance, cite examples of components used successfully. b) What methods are used to ensure reliability of software and hardware comprising the transceiver. If past performance is cited, provide examples. c) If past flight history is used as a technology or method justification, cite missions and criteria for success. d) What analysis/testing has been done or will be done to predict the life/reliability/MTBF of the transceiver? What is the MTBF? If no MTBF is available, what is the plan to perform this analysis? e) If reprogrammable logic (SRAM based) will be employed in the design, please describe the methods used to ensure immunity from single event radiation effects. Please cite methods, analysis, and results of testing supporting this plan as a reliable method. Responses are due by October 30, 2003 and shall be sent to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Attn: Sharon Collignon, Code 210.6, Greenbelt, MD 20771. This RFI shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response. Respondents will not be notified of the results.
