- Description
- This notice is provided for information purposes only. NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) awarded a firm-fixed price contract to Honeybee Robotics, Ltd.�(HBR), Brooklyn, NY�for the effort entitled �Lunar Array Mast and Power System (LAMPS)�. This award results from a competitive selection under the NASA Headquarters released NASA Research Announcement (NRA) 80HQTR20NOA01, entitled Space Technology � Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion � 2020 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2020), Appendix 80HQTR20NOA01-20GCD_C1, Lunar Vertical Solar Array Technology (�Lunar VSAT�). The existing Game Changing Development (GCD) Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) project is focused on the development of solar arrays and related technologies necessary for sustained presence on the lunar surface circa 2028. The Lunar VSAT Appendix addresses key technologies associated with the goals of that GCD effort. The objective of this procurement is for HBR to design, prototype, and test LAMPS, a solar panel system designed to provide 10 kilowatts (10kW) of electrical power and be robotically deployable at the south pole of the lunar surface. During the Base Period, HBR shall perform design, trade studies, and analysis in order to analytically demonstrate the expected performance of LAMPS. During the Option Period, if exercised, HBR shall fabricate and test the prototype LAMPS, achieve a Technical Readiness Level of 6 (TRL 6), and demonstrate that the system is capable of qualification for space applications. Under this effort, HBR will explore vertical array development on masts of up to 10 m in length to minimize shadowing in order to capture near-continuous sunlight at the lunar South Pole.
