- Description
- Partnership Opportunity Document (POD)with NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) for a Star Tracker This proposal opportunity is for a NASA Second Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity Notice (SALMON-2) for a 2014 Astrophysics Explorer Mission of Opportunity (MoO). The draft Program Element Appendix (PEA) was released July 14, 2014. NASA GSFC is seeking a partner to provide a star tracker to be used with a telescope for a potential proposal. The potential GSFC MoO instrument is designed to meet the science goals of the Explorer Program, as currently understood. GSFC instrument teams will be submitting proposals to this Astrophysics Explorers PEA. This is a two-step process with initial proposals due 90 days after release of the final PEA. Information on the release of the PEA can be found at: ht tp://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?method=init&solId= {F14AC3B1-F0DF-89F5-2625-8341199C12B5}&path=open. Potential respondents are asked to contact the GSFC Explorer team by 5 PM EDT on August 8, 2014 with a Notice Of Interest (intentionally not called a notice of intent). This Notice of Interest does not create an obligation to respond to the POD, but allows the GSFC Explorer team to disseminate additional details on the mission parameters and to provide answers to questions from potential partners. Notice of Interest respondents will receive a document containing additional details on the proposed mission, which can be used to facilitate a focused response to the partnership opportunity. These details are competition sensitive and are not to be shared outside the team necessary to prepare a response. After receipt of the mission document, respondents may send questions to the GSFC Explorer Team at the E-mail address listed below. All questions and answers will be made available to all those who respond to the Notice of Interest. The source of the questions shall be held confidential. Questions and answers that contain information unique to a respondents proprietary approach will not be shared if they are identified as such. Notice of Interest shall be sent to Mike Adams ( michael.l.adams@nasa.gov ) via email with Notice of Interest in the subject line, a simple sentence or two expressing interest and an email address to send further information. For purposes of this partnership opportunity, the GSFC contact is Mike Adams, michael.l.adams@nasa.gov, 301-286-2010, and the backup is Alice Liu, kuo-chia.liu-1@nasa.gov, 301-286-1270. Responses to the POD shall: 1) Be in a PowerPoint presentation format or word document format that shall not exceed 25 pages. The font size for the text shall be no smaller than 12 point. 2) Be as specific as possible about the proposed star tracker. 3) Address all requirements noted in sections 3.0 through 7.0 of this document. Responses will be treated as proprietary information and controlled as such. Final presentation packages must be received via email by 5 PM (EDT) on August 15, 2014. Provide the presentation to the GSFC contact listed above. Highly ranked proposers may be asked to participate in an informational telecon with the GSFC instrument team. The telecon would be for clarification of proposal information and may be held prior to award, if deemed necessary by the Government. The telecons would be between the GSFC instrument team and each proposer individually.
