- Description
- The NASA/SSC Office of Procurement intends to issue a Best Value Request forProposal (RFP) for the project entitled: Low Speed Data Acquisition System (LSDAS)Signal Conditioners & Digitizers for the A-3 Altitude Test Stand and the B-2 Test Standat NASA Stennis Space Center to be delivered to the John C. Stennis Space Center,Mississippi. The work for this requirement consists of, but is not limited to thefollowing: providing all labor, equipment, materials, training and installation andactivation support for Low Speed Data Acquisition System (LSDAS) equipment to supportJ-2X engine testing on the A-3 Test stand as well as potentially the B-2 Test Stand forAreas V Core Stage testing. The new LSDAS equipment for the A-3 Test Stand shall consist of one set of 512 analogchannels and an additional set of 288 channels, with the capability of expansion to 1024channels per set. One set will be dedicated to test article interfaces and locatedwithin the Signal Conditioning Building (SCB) located on the Test Stand. The other setwill be dedicated to facility interfaces and located within the SCB on the ground level. The LSDAS consists of equipment located at the test stand, in each SCB, and the TestControl Center (TCC). The SCBs house the signal conditioners, the digitizer /multiplexer units, including storage units, and Work Stations (WS) which have the abilityto operate the LSDAS. The SCB WS connect to the TCC WS via a data network. The TCChouses the redundant storage units and WS that have redundant capabilities to the WSlocated in each of the SCBs.The LSDAS Signal Conditioner equipment for the B-2 Test Stand is intended to consist ofone set of 1052 analog channels. This LSDAS will consist of equipment located at thetest stand hard core (a concrete enclosed structure separating the B-1 and B-2 TestStands), and the Test Control Center (TCC). The hard core will house the signalconditioners, the digitizer / multiplexer units, including storage units, and WorkStations (WS) which have the ability to operate the LSDAS. The Work Stations in thehard core will connect to the TCC WS via a data network that is physically isolatedfrom the Test Facility LAN. The TCC houses the redundant storage units and WS that haveredundant capabilities to the WS located in the hard core. The TCC WS are capable oftransmitting real-time engineering unit data to WS within the control room and outside ofthe test data communications system.FOB is destination.
