The government will provide the sensor as Government Furnished Equipment(GFE),and share the sensor data, in return for hosting. The raw data will be sent to a USG ground processing location via fiber or internet (depending on feasabilility). The USG will make raw and processed data products available to the hosting partner. The government is exploring options that may result in a no-cost contract. SMC/AD has an aggressive goal to put the sensor into orbit before the end of FY20. Information on the Aerospace Corporation's ECP sensor can be found: ECP-Lite (see Appendix 1 - ECP-Lite Overview) The US Air Force is also interested in other orbit opportunities (with the same zero cost hosting/data sharing agreement). SMC/AD may or may not be interested in other orbit opportunities based on our operational goals, the specific orbit, and schedule. Response Request Interested parties shall submit an unclassified Statement of Capabilities (SOC) describing their experience and capability to provide a solution for the needs described above. The USG requests the following information: Provide a brief overview of your company's space flight history. Provide an overview of the mission you plan to host the ECP sensor on. Provide information on the orbit/schedule of your satellite/mission. Provide a proposed integration plan for the ECP sensor and your satellite. Provide an objective mission life. Provide an overview of the ECP data architecture from space to ground to include information about the cadence of ground contacts and onboard data storafe if applicable. Please indetify the location of your integration, test, and launch facilities and any affiliations you may have with a foreign government/company for the satellite project.
