- Description
- The California Institute of Technologys (Caltech) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)near Pasadena, California, operating under a prime contract with the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration (NASA), seeks industry interest in solid propellant motor droptest research. JPL is responsible for quantifying the blast and blast driven fragmentenvironments resulting from launch vehicle accidents for missions using nuclear powersystems. The Laboratory desires to conduct research into these blast and fragmentenvironments for the fallback of an intact, non-burning solid propellant motor impactingthe ground at vertical velocities in the range of 200 to 500 ft/s. The motors couldcontain up to 4400 lb. of DOT hazard class 1.3C solid propellant. The contractor shallprovide the facilities and methods for simulating the accident scenario, andcharacterizing the blast and blast driven fragments (both motor case and solidpropellant) emanating from the exploding motor. RESPONSES DUE: Please indicate yourinterest and qualifications in responding to this synopsis to JPL no later than Monday,February 27, 2012 by submitting your (1) company name; (2) point of contact; (3) mailingaddress; (4) E-mail address; and (5) phone number. DISCLAIMER: It is emphasized that therequested information is for preliminary purposes only and does not constitute acommitment, implied or otherwise, that JPL will solicit you for such a procurement in thefuture. Neither JPL nor the government will be responsible for any costs incurred by youin furnishing this information. Prospective subcontractors are advised that anyinformation provided shall be deemed to be furnished with unlimited rights to JPL, withJPL assuming no liability for any accidental disclosure, use or reproduction of suchdata.
