CAPSTONE ATTACHMENT A – Statement of Work 80KSC020R0003
Draft Statement of Work
1.0 Scope and Requirements
1.1 Scope
The NASA Launch Services Program (LSP) is seeking a launch service for the CAPSTONE mission, a 12U-Class satellite, to a Trans Lunar Injection orbit. This contract will consist of a single launch. The launch shall occur at a Contractor-specified launch date, which shall be between December 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the Contractor requirements to provide NASA a launch service for the CAPSTONE mission.
The Contractor shall provide a launch vehicle system for the CAPSTONE mission that shall be capable of delivering a total nominal payload mass of 25 kg plus the payload provided dispenser to a C3 of -0.6 km2/s2. The maximum mass of the payload and dispenser shall not exceed 37 kg. The Contractor shall determine and account for the dispenser mounting, required trajectory, and mass reserves such that the launch vehicle will be able to accommodate CAPSTONE.
The Contractor shall perform launch vehicle planning, analysis, design, development, production, integration, and testing required to provide the launch service appropriate to transport the payload to the desired orbit.
2.0 Planning
The Contractor shall furnish all services to meet CAPSTONE requirements including, but not limited to, program management, mission integration, launch site support, ground and flight system safety, and performance assurance necessary to accomplish the safe and successful launch of CAPSTONE to the required orbit conditions within required launch period.
The Contractor shall be responsible for initiating and ultimately obtaining the necessary approval/licensing (i.e., Federal Aviation Administration) to successfully deliver the procured launch service. The Contractor shall be responsible for all integration and Range services in order to successfully deliver the launch service. The Contractor shall make all arrangements with the responsible authorities for the required launch Range authorization and support for vehicle processing; integrated payload/vehicle processing, launch; and launch site maintenance and modifications if required.
The Contractor shall include all Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items as part of the launch service.
The Contractor shall provide logistical supplies, services, and hardware support to the post-production, transportation, and launch base operations of the vehicle system. The Contractor shall provide all necessary services and mission specific elements, including vehicle test and flight hardware and software, required to integrate the payload to the launch vehicle system. Such support should include, but is not limited to, provision of spares; provision of propellants, liquids, and gases for launch and test; packaging and transportation of the vehicle system; and warehousing and storage.
Limited Government program management will be required in order to assess completion of the defined Attachment C, Milestone Deliverable Descriptions and Requirements, which shall be satisfied in order to progress towards the targeted launch date. NASA's seeks to enable the use of commercially accepted practices while still understanding the schedule risks of the launch service used for the mission.
2.1 Program Management
The Contractor shall perform the program management tasks required to provide the launch service and satisfy the mission requirements. These tasks shall include as a minimum:
A. Conduct launch vehicle program reviews that provide evidence of launch vehicle maturity towards the contracted launch date and to provide the Government with appropriate evidence needed to satisfy milestone payments to the Contractor (as defined in Attachment C).
B. Develop and maintain a master schedule and sub-tier schedules.
C. Obtain all applicable licenses, permits, and approvals required by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies; and prepare (or support the Government in preparing, if necessary, for the payload) and submit any environmental impact statements that may be necessary for the provisioning of the launch service. Approvals required by the payload will be the responsibility of the Government. The Contractor and the Government shall provide reasonable cooperation and support to each other in the process of obtaining, maintaining, and renewing permits and licenses as set forth above.
D. Provide resolution of critical problem areas to minimize or eliminate schedule impacts.
E. Manage all subcontracts and monitor subcontractor activities to a sufficient level of detail to ensure timely delivery of acceptable components. A report on the performance of subcontractors shall be included as part of any program reviews.
F. Provide the recommended payload success criteria prior to the launch, the post-launch supporting data, and the Final Flight Report (CDRL CAPSTONE-6) to enable determination of payload success as defined in the Interface Control Document (ICD) (CDRL CAPSTONE- 2). The Government shall determine whether the mission is a success or failure based on the application of the payload success criteria as defined in the ICD (CDRL CAPSTONE-2).
G. Make provision for insurance to cover liability for possible damage to Government property and third parties in accordance with necessary approval/licensing (i.e., Federal Aviation Administration).
H. Pay any taxes and transfer costs required for delivery of the launch service.
2.2 Compliance Documents
The Contractor shall comply with the following documents:
A. Applicable Range Safety Documentation for the selected launch site as determined by the
FAA.
B. NPR 8715.6, NASA Procedural Requirement for Limiting Orbital Debris (in order to assist the Government for payload compliance).
C. NPR 8621.1, NASA Procedural Requirements for Mishap and Close Call Reporting, Investigating, and Recordkeeping (only in order to assist the Government in the event of a mishap involving NASA personnel or property).
D. Certification Regarding United States Commercial Provider of Space Transportation

Longer periods of performance should consider the earliest dates possible for the ICD and CDR. Offeror's should propose an update, including earlier L minus dates for the ICD and CDR dates, if the period of performance is greater than 10 months. The Offeror should propose a launch vehicle manufacturing (i.e. engines, stages, and avionics) or flight propulsion acceptance test milestone if any of the listed propulsion milestones have been completed.
