- Description
- Pricing sheets N00173-BAA-14-8201 Document The goal of this BAA is to develop a high performance spaceflight prototype pointing mirror system to be flight tested on a Class C (using NASA NPR 8705.4 as a rough guide) experimental spacecraft platform. The objective of this BAA is to develop a High Performance Pointing Mirror System by assembling current state of the art components to develop a new system that market research has shown does not exist. The purpose of the High Performance Pointing Mirror System is to provide two basic functions: 1) agile beam pointing, and 2) image stabilization. Two different optical pointing mirror system configurations are currently being considered. A configuration trade decision will be made during Phase 1 of this BAA. The two configurations are: •1. Configuration 1 has a large angle azimuth rotary stage/turntable with a large (30.2X19.4 cm) tip/tilt mirror mounted on it that can perform both agile beam pointing functions as well as higher bandwidth image compensation functions in one common, co-located pointing mechanism. •2. Configuration 2 has a large angle azimuth rotary stage with a large (30.2X19.4 cm) tip/tilt mirror on it (similar or same as Configuration 1) but it is only required to perform the agile beam pointing functions as well as possibly very low bandwidth image compensation functions. This configuration then has an additional smaller (2.5-7.5 cm diameter) tip/tilt fast steering mirror performing high bandwidth image stabilization functions separately embedded within the telescope. For both configuration 1 and 2 the large angle azimuth rotary stage would be held stationary (ie presumably with a brake or otherwise) during imaging. Figures showing these configurations along with other detailed performance goals can be found in a separate performance flysheet which will be provided to ITAR qualified offerors. ITAR Restrictions : Detailed design information regarding this technology is deemed to be ITAR restricted within Category XV(e) of the U.S. Munitions List. Disclosure of the High Performance Pointing Mirror System performance goals and parameters to potential offerors is subject to all United States export control laws and regulations including the Arms Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), the U.S. Munitions List (USML), the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), and the Commerce Control List (CCL). Award considerations will be based upon the degree to which the offeror's design demonstrates a viable solution that produces the best system performance while minimizing technical and programmatic risk. Mass and power are not drivers for the system outside of how they impact the Pointing Mirrors System's own performance (ie a heavy mirror makes it harder to meet system pointing goals than a light mirror). Volume for hardware placed outside the telescope is not critical; however for configuration #2, minimization of the size of the image stabilization mirror inside the telescope, volume minimization is a goal balanced with cost.
