- Description
- The Goddard Space Flight Center’s Molniya Orbit Imager mission team is developing a proposal to submit in response to the upcoming Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for the Earth Systems Science Pathfinder Program (ESSP). The AO is currently scheduled for release in March 2005. The ESSP selection is a two step process, with Step 1 proposals due in June 2005. Projects selected in Step 1 will be funded to perform Step 2 (Phase A) concept studies leading up to the submission of a Step 2 proposal in which the entire end-to-end mission life cycle will be detailed. The current Molniya Orbit Imager mission concept has been developed around a generic geostationary-class meteorological imager. No actual instrument or instrument design has been selected. The purpose of this Partnership Opportunity Document (POD) is to identify and select a teaming partner interested in (i) providing an instrument design as part of the initial proposal submittal, (ii) supporting the Phase A concept studies if the Step 1 proposal is selected, and (iii) providing a flight qualified instrument and supporting integration and testing, should the Molniya Orbit Imager be selected for flight. For the purpose of this POD, any calibration device or active cooling device shall be considered part of the instrument. For the portion of this partnership that involves the preparation of the Step 1 proposal, there shall be no exchange of funds between the partners. NASA funding may be available for Step 2 and will be available for subsequent phases, should the Molniya Orbit Imager be selected. Responses to the Partnership Opportunity Document shall: 1) Be in a presentation format (viewgraphs) that shall not exceed 40 pages.
