Updates have been made to the SOW and Requirements to be consistent with this additional scope of work.

Attachment 01, GLS SOW / 2.0

The requirement for Program Management Review has been updated from once per year to, “at least twice per year,” and two additional requirements have been added to the PMR to, “describe extensibility of vehicle capabilities (including the Contractor’s ability to deliver other Elements of Gateway),” and to, “describe contemplated and implemented changes to the launch and logistics vehicles in sufficient detail for NASA to determine if the changes constitute a Common GLS Configuration Change.”

Attachment 01, GLS SOW / 3.2.1

The scope of the NASA requirements for Preservation of the Space and Lunar Environments has been limited to the vicinity of the Moon and Earth-Moon Lagrange points. It is noted that Orbital Debris requirements for spacecraft and launch vehicle stages outside the lunar sphere of influence or the vicinity of an Earth-Moon Lagrange point fall under the authority of the FAA.

Change Affected Documents / Sections Cargo accommodation requirements have been changed. The Level 3 Cargo Requirements and the SOW, section 4.1.1.3 (previously section 4.1.1.2.1), have been updated to state that the Contractor shall accommodate active payloads as Middeck Locker (MDL) or MDL-equivalent payloads (with or without equivalent structural mounting) and passive cargo in Cargo Transfer Bags (CTBs) or in an alternative passive cargo stowage system. A note has also been added to this section of the SOW, to reference typical ISS cargo packing density for CTBs.
