- Description
- The California Institute of Technology?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Caltech/JPL), operating under a prime contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), seek responses to a Request for Information (RFI) for displacement measurements in support of JPL?s Space Interferometer Mission (SIM) PlanetQuest. The goal of this RFI is to determine your company?s current capabilities to meet some or all of the challenging demands for the SIM Project. Being space qualified is NOT a requirement at this time. SCOPE OF WORK - This document specifies performance requirements for space qualified micron displacement sensors with sub-nanometer resolution in support of the SIM Planet Finder mission, as a part of NASA?s continuing Origin Program. KEY REQUIREMENTS - The performance requirements for the sensors that are expected to be procured are generally described below. Specific applications for the three (3) types of sensors will be enveloped by the requirement ranges described below. Being space qualified is NOT a requirement at this time. The contractor should provide the range and tolerances for each of the parameters. Sensor parameters (requirements) will fall in the ranges specified as: (a) Displacement ranges between 1.5 to 15 microns; (b) Measurement accuracy (after linearization) of 0.5 nm; (c) Resolution 0.075 nm to 0.2 nm; and (d) Bandwidth <10 Hz or up to 1 kHz RESPONSES - All responses to the RFI are due no later than July 10, 2006 to JPL, Attention: Steve Woo, M/S 201-203, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, CA 91109-8099. JPL POINT OF CONTACT - All communications pertaining to this RFI shall be directed to Steve Woo, Subcontracts Manager at (818) 354-0295 or via email: steve.b.wood@jpl.nasa.gov DISCLAIMER: It is emphasized that information provided to JPL is for preliminary planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, or that JPL will solicit you for this or a similar procurement in the future. Neither JPL nor the Government will be responsible for any costs incurred by you in furnishing this information.
