Performance Work Statement

For

Mars Ascent Vehicle Inertial Measurement Unit

1 BACKGROUND AND SCOPE

This Performance Work Statement supports the development for the acquisition, testing, and manufacturing of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to support the Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV).

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is pursuing procurement of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for a Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV). As a part of the Mars Sample Return Campaign, the MAV will transport Mars regolith samples from the Martian surface into orbit for rendezvous with an awaiting spacecraft. Because the IMU will be used to propagate the launch vehicle attitude and support vehicle guidance during the ascent from Mars surface, the IMU will be considered a mission critical sensor assembly. Consequently, the IMU must provide uninterrupted measurement data (for a continuous period of up to eight hours) and offer high reliability and robustness against adverse space environments.

Additionally, the Mars Sample Return campaign will be classified as a NASA flagship mission, and therefore warrants critical sensor assemblies (such as the IMU) that are already space-qualified or can be space qualified through a judicious selection of high reliability and traceability of parts, qualified processes, and appropriate test campaigns in the desired timeframe.

The MAV is a two-stage vehicle and will require at least one IMU. Each IMU will be an integrated three-axis unit sensing both angular rates as well as linear accelerations about each axis. The IMU will be capable of meeting all the performance requirements after a minimum period of eight (8) years post-delivery. After a brief storage period and integration to the vehicle, the IMU would be required to tolerate environments of Earth launch, 2.5 years of deep space cruise, Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL), and a storage period of up to two (2) years on the Martian surface. The IMU will be used for pre-flight gyrocompassing on the surface of Mars to obtain an accurate initial attitude solution. It can be assumed that there would be no external resources for in-flight or Martian surface recalibrations of the IMU. Note that the IMU will be in an unpowered state for a majority of the cruise except for short durations during health check-outs at survival temperature. The Contractor will be responsible for the design, development, manufacture, testing, qualification and delivery of a fully calibrated IMU assembly and subsequent flight, flight spare, and any flight test units as needed.
