- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the development of specific software for aproprietary Satellite Ground Station located in McMurdo, Antarctica. This software willenable the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Polar OperationalEnvironmental Satellite (POES) operations personnel in Maryland to remotely monitor andcontrol the NAILS ground station in McMurdo Antarctica. This development will be anextension of the software currently used by GSFC personnel to remotely control the NAILS,but it will be tailored to the operation requirements at the NOAA Spacecraft OperationsCenter. These developers will need to be sent to McMurdo, Antarctica, to install andtest the new software and to operate the system during two weeks of tests with orbitingNOAA satellites.Description of Services and DeliverablesProvide support for annual field maintenance of the NAILS Satellite Ground Station forthe POES Project and including:1.One engineer specializing in RF maintenance and repairs2.Two engineers specializing in software developments and IT networking issues3.On-site for nominally two weeks4.Install and test with on-orbit NOAA satellites the proprietary software developedby Digiserv, Inc., which will enable remote monitoring and control from the NOAASpacecraft Operations Center (SOC) in Suitland, Maryland.5.Pre-travel technical preparationsPeriod of Performance September 27, 2008 February 1, 2009NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the work from Digiserv, Inc. since they have a decade-longhistory of providing such technical services to the POES project related to thisproprietary NAILS Ground Station.
