Description
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) - National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA-GSFC) is soliciting information from potential sources for the development and fabrication of a spacecraft, for the Space Weather GEO Series (SW GEO) on behalf of the NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
This RFI is for the spacecraft and potential Mission Operations services. This spacecraft is anticipated to host eight (8) Government furnished payloads, including the following sensors/instruments, Energetic Particle Flux (EPF), Magnetometer (MAG), x-ray Irradiance (xI), PHOtospheric Magnetograph Imager (PHOMI), Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Imager, Solar Extreme Ultraviolet (SUV) Irradiance Sensor, Height Integrated Thermospheric O/N2 Ratio (HITON) and the potential for an Instrument/system Of Opportunity (IOO) as the eighth (8) payload.
The SW GEO Series is anticipated as a series of up to two (2) satellites, operated at the geostationary orbit over the continental United States of America. Two satellites are necessary to meet the observatory instrument data availability objectives. The SW GEO Series will provide essential space weather in situ measurements of the plasma and energetic particle populations in the Earth-s magnetosphere including solar energetic protons (SEPs), in situ measurements of the Earth-s magnetic field, solar EUV imagery, solar EUV irradiance measurements, solar x-ray irradiance measurements, Photospheric magnetograph imagery, and Height-integrated thermospheric O/N2 ratio. NOAA and NASA are exploring an instrument of opportunity. The data produced by SW GEO will help NOAA provide watches and warnings for these space weather events that can disrupt the electrical power grid and communications systems, as well as navigation and timing systems like the Global Positioning System (GPS).
