- Description
- 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 Main Electronic Box (MEB) 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. This partnership opportunity is being issued to select a teaming partner to help prepare the GSFC Explorer candidate MoO instrument concept for the proposal submittal.The major flight system GSFC is interested in finding partners for is an MEB. There will be no exchange of funds between the teaming partners for the portion of this partnership opportunity dealing with the preparation of the initial proposal submission to the Explorer PEA. Full funding will be available for subsequent phases should the MoO instrument/mission be competitively selected for those additional phases. Additionally, release of this POD does not commit GSFC to enter into a partnership. Potential respondents are asked to contact the GSFC Explorer team 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 to provide answers to questions from potential partners. Notice of Interest respondents will receive a document containing additional details on the MEB specifications, 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 teams necessary to prepare a full response. After receipt of the mission document, respondents may send questions to the GSFC point of contact (POC) 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 the POC listed below 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 POC is Mike Adams, michael.l.adams@nasa.gov, 301-286-2010. Responses to the POD shall: 1) Be in a PowerPoint presentation format or word document format that shall not exceed 30 pages. The font size for the text shall be no smaller than 12 point. 2) Be as specific as possible about the MEB system. 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 September 5th, 2014. Please provide the presentation to the POC 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.
