COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 23,1998 PSA#2037A -- ACTS -- ADVANCED COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SATELLITE PROJECT
PURSUING NEW RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES NASA Lewis Research Center is
actively pursuing new research opportunities in: a. Demonstrating NASA
and Other U.S. Government Use of Future Satellite Services, b. ATM, IP
and Other Protocols Over Satellites Including Interoperability with
Terrestrial Networks, c. Evaluating Satellite Inclined Orbit
Operations, and d. New Ka-band Technology and Hardware Verification.
Planning is currently underway to extend opportunities for
experimentation through September, 2000. This is a unique opportunity
which will not be available beyond September 2000. ACTS and the
associated ground systems are a national communications research
facility. Since its launch and deployment in September, 1993, over
one-hundred different U.S. industry, government and university
organizations have participated in the ACTS Experiment Program. NASA
Lewis Research Center does not anticipate providing funding to
experimenters through Grants, Contracts or any other procurements in
support of the ACTS Extended Experiments Program. However,NASA Lewis
Research Center does anticipate providing experimenters with access to
the ACTS spacecraft communication channels and beacons, NASA earth
station facilities, technical assistance, on-orbit spacecraft
operations, network operations and other services. Experimenters
selected for this Extended Experiments Program will be required to
enter into Space Act Agreements. Details for participation in the
Extended Experiments Program are currently in development, however, we
would like to know about your interest today. Please feel free to
