Public award description

THIS WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO LABORATORY FOR ATMOSPHERIC AND SPACE PHYSICS (LASP) IN SUPPORT OF THE FOXSI PHASE A AND BRIDGE PHASE B (IF AUTHORIZED) CONCEPT DEFINITION PORTION OF THE 2016 SMALL EXPLORER ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY #NNH16ZDA005O. THE LASP SHALL PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY RESOURCES AND SKILLS TO PERFORM AND MANAGE THE TASKS DEFINED IN THIS SOW RELATED TO THE FOXSI INSTRUMENT SOLAR POSITION SENSOR (SPS). ALL DOCUMENTATION MAY BE IN LASP FORMAT. ALL DELIVERIES ARE ELECTRONIC. THE LASP SHALL PROVIDE INPUTS AS NEEDED TO THE FOXSI PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND OTHER PROGRAMMATIC DOCUMENTS. THE LASP SHALL GENERATE INPUTS TO THE FOXSI SYSTEM ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PLAN, THE FOXSI SYSTEM VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION PLAN, AND TO ALL ICD'S BETWEEN THE LASP SPS AND OTHER MAJOR INSTRUMENT ELEMENTS, AS NEEDED. THE LASP SHALL PERFORM OR PROVIDE INPUT TO THE TRADES AND STUDIES, AS NEEDED, DESCRIBED IN THE PHASE A PROPOSAL AND SHALL PERFORM OTHER TRADES NECESSARY TO DERIVE AN SPS THAT MEETS MISSION AND INSTRUMENT REQUIREMENTS. LASP WILL DO A TRADE STUDY ON THE SPS DESIGN OPTIONS INVOLVING THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE GOES-R EXIS SPS AND TSIS-1 SPS TO MEET THE FOXSI SPS REQUIREMENTS. LASP AND GSFC WILL JOINTLY DO A TRADE STUDY ON THE OPTION FOR ONE OR TWO SPS FLIGHT UNITS IN REGARD TO OPTIMIZING MISSION OPERATIONS. THE LASP SHALL UPDATE THE SPS DESIGNS TO MEET MISSION AND INSTRUMENT LEVEL REQUIREMENTS AS NECESSARY. THE LASP SHALL REVIEW AND REFINE THE SPS BUDGETS INCLUDING MASS, POWER, AND OTHER MARGINS REQUIRED FOR PHASE A. THE LASP SHALL UPDATE THE SPS MEL AS NEEDED. THE LASP SHALL PARTICIPATE IN THE FOXSI RISK PROCESS. THIS ACTIVITY SHALL INCLUDE THE ASSESSMENT OF THE SPS COMPONENTS TRL LEVELS AND THE ASSESSMENT OR GENERATION OF PLANS TO BRING ANY NEW OR MODIFIED EQUIPMENT TO AN ADEQUATE STATE OF DEVELOPMENT IF REQUIRED. THIS PROCESS SHALL INCLUDE ASSESSING ANY TECHNICAL WEAKNESSES IDENTIFIED IN THE SELECTION DEBRIEF AND GENERATING CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.
