- 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 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 filter 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 filter, including radiation hardness. If you take exception to or wish to deviate from any of our requirements, please so state and provide alternatives. - Has filter ever been space-flight qualified? If so, when and to what requirements? - Your experience providing detectors to NASA Programs. - Your experience making high-resolution filters. - Vibration survival limits for filter. - 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. Filter needed 10 months after that. Filter Specifications: Description: Final filter shall be 2 cm x 1 cm in size. Wavelength varies over long dimension. The filter will be placed in close proximity to the array (within 0.005?? or 125 ??m) and will operate at cryogenic temperatures (~ 120 to 140 K). As detailed below, there are three wavelength regions. The finished filter may be obtained by bonding segments together. In that case, the bonds between segments must be opaque enough to satisfy the out of band transmittance spec given below. In order to maintain a fixed focal plane in the optical system that will be used, either each filter segment must use a different substrate or each filter must be made using a different thickness of fused silica as a substrate. (See below). Delivery must be within 1 year after receipt of order. Wavelength range: 1.01 to 1.28 ??m @ resolving power (???}????) = 1200 (covered in 8.532 mm) 1.70 to 1.755 ??m @ resolving power (???}????) = 2000 (covered in 2.304 mm) 2.18 to 2.45 ??m @ resolving power (???}????) = 2000 (covered in 8.388 mm) Resolution: Defined over 36 micron. (i.e. the resolving powers above are defined by the convolution of the wavelength change over 36 microns and the inherent resolution of the filter). In Band Transmittance: ?d 35% average (minimum >25%) Minimum Blocked Wavelength: 0.9 ??m Maximum Blocked Wavelength: 3.0 ??m Out of Band transmittance: ?T 0.001% (average over each band) Wavelength Dependence: Negotiable. Log (??) linear in position, fixed ???? and fixed ??cm-1 all acceptable as long as resolution and coverage requirements are met. Segment substrate thickness if fused silica used: 4.9 mm (1.01 to 1.28 ??m segment) 3.7 mm (1.70 to 1.755 ??m segment) 2.1 mm (2.18 to 2.45 ??m segment) Segment substrate material for fixed 2.5 mm substrate: ZnSe (1.01 to 1.28 ??m segment) Sapphire (1.70 to 1.755 ??m segment) LiF (2.18 to 2.45 ??m segment) Flatness of surface nearest the array: < 0.002?? or 50 ??m Thermal cycling: Filter shall be capable of withstanding 100 cycles from 300K to 100K. Survival temperatures: Filter shall survive temperatures from 80K to 333K Vibration: Filter shall survive launch vibration forces. Provide vibration survival limits for filter. 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.
