- Description
- This notice is issued by the NASA/GSFC to post a draft requirement via the internet, and solicit responses from interested parties. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. Prospective offerors are invited to submit written comments or questions to: Betsy.Forsbacka@nasa.gov, no later than February 22, 2006. When responding reference solicitation number noted above. This request for information is not to 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. This detector will be used in an instrument, to be built at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, being proposed as part of a Discovery mission. Please provide: - Specifications of your detector, including radiation performance. If you take exception to or wish to deviate from any of our requirements, please so state, and provide alternatives. - Has detector ever been space-flight qualified If so, when and to what requirements? - Your experience providing detectors to NASA Programs. - Your experience making large-format IR detectors in the 1 ?V 2.5 micron range. - Vibration survival limits for detector. - Quote, including cost and schedule. You may be asked to meet with the Proposal Team and provide additional information. Schedule: Proposal Team, if selected, would place procurement in the Fall of 2007. Detector needed 10 months after that. Detector Specifications: Format: 1024 x 512 pixels (It is acceptable that this be half of a 1024 x 1024 array, as long as the 1024 x 512 section being used may be read independently of the other section). There must be at least 1000 x 500 active pixels and at least 2 rows and columns of reference pixels. The array shall be part of a focal plane assembly including a mounting plate, interface cables and connectors. The design shall minimize heat conduction through the cables. Wavelength range: (mean Q.E ?d 0.5): 1.0 to 2.5 ??m Pixel size: Square with dimensions ?T 20 ??m x 20 ??m Well depth: ?d100,000 e- Dark current: ?T 5000e-/sec @ 140 K Double correlated sampling (DCS): Allowed Read noise: ?T 50e- (After DCS) Time to read out 1024 x 512 pixels: ?T 10 seconds Reset type: Pixel by pixel reset required (other modes allowed). Windowing: Arbitrary rectangular window region selectable on each frame. Operability (Q.E. ?d 50% of mean): ?d 99% Response uniformity (?d 90% of pixels): ?b 10% Substrate thickness (assuming back-illuminated): ?T 200 ??m AR coating: Required (1 to 2.5 ??m) Cutoff wavelength (Q.E. ?T 1%): 3 ??m Radiation survival: Price @ 25 Krad, 30 Krad, 40 Krad, 50 Krad Thermal cycling: Focal plane shall be capable of withstanding 100 cycles from 300K to 100 K. Survival temperatures: Focal plane assembly shall survive temperatures from 100 K to 333K Vibration: Focal plane assembly shall survive launch vibration forces. Provide vibration survival limits for detector. Power dissipation: ?T 5 milliWatt Mass (including cables no longer than 12??, connectors and mounting plate): ?T 100 gram Mission lifetime: 5 years Information and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application.
