99 -- PROCESSING OF CLEMENTINE IMAGE DATA SOL CLEMENTINE IMAGE DATA POC Joseph Boyce tel: 202/358-1588 This notice constitutes a broad agency announcement as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)2, and is expected to result in a grant. A separate solicitation document will not be issued. NASA is seeking a qualified source to provide support for ongoing planetary research activities by the scientific community by processing of the scientific data received from the sensors flown onboard the Clementine spacecraft. Processing sought must result in all the following: a) Global Multispectral Image Cube mosaics; b) Polar high-resolution mosaics; c) Global long-wave infrared mosaics; and d) Digital elevation models derived from stereo images. It will be the responsibility of the grant recipient to transfer the processed data to the Planetary Data System (PDS) in CDROM form and in PDS compliant format for distribution by September 1996. The proposer must possess the following: 1) expertise and experience in processing of deep space image sensor data; 2) knowledge of pre-launch and in-flight calibration of image sensors that collected image data on Clementine spacecraft; 3) ability to provide necessary facilities such as computing equipment. Interested parties may submit a proposal in response to this notice. Proposals from outside the US will not be funded by NASA, and would need to be supported by their national agency. In order to be considered responsive, prospective officers must include as part of their proposal: a) transmittal letter or prefatory material; b) statement on restriction of use and disclosure of proposal information; c) abstract describing the objectives of the proposed effort and the method of approach; d) project description; e) management approach; f) personnel; g) facilities and equipment; h) proposed costs; i) security (if applicable); j) current support; k) special matters. Proposals should not exceed 15 pages in length. Proposals will be evaluated based on relevance to NASA's objectives, intrinsic merit (also including factors 1-3 above) and cost (all of approximately equal weight). Selection decisions will be made by the Director, Solar Systems Exploration Division, following peer review of the proposals. Proposals (5 copies) must be submitted within 45 days of publication of this solicitation to Joseph M. Boyce (LP), Solar Systems Exploration Division, Code SLC, NASA Headquarters, 300 E St. S.W. Washington, DC 20546. (0038)
