Description

NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for an accommodation assessment to determine the range of suitable architectures and technologies for adding a Spacewire bus interface to an existing Solid State Recorder (SSR). Of primary importance will be to identify critical gaps in technology, where modest investment can make a significant long-term impact on the way NASA Enterprises conduct their space missions. The studies will focus on identifying advantages, disadvantages and implementations of a Spacewire interface in an existing SSR. It is anticipated that the Goverment may make multiple awards for the accommodation study, each with a firm-fixed price not to exceed $50K. THIS PROCUREMENT IS FOR STUDIES ONLY.
