Att 2 - Space-Exploration_Comm_Nav_Capabilities_Implementation_Rev2_20230925.pdf

This document is an attachment to a Request for Information related to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Space Exploration Network Service and Evolution follow-on decoupling opportunity. The attachment provides details on space-exploration communication and navigation capabilities that could be implemented to meet NASA's needs. Specifically, it outlines four capability areas - space communications networks, space-based atomic clocks, optical communications, and satellite navigation - and describes current and potential future technologies within each area. Technologies covered include laser communications, atomic clocks on spacecraft, optical inter-satellite links, and GPS for deep space navigation. Response dates, award amounts, and other solicitation details are not included within this attachment, which focuses exclusively on describing relevant space technologies rather than procurement terms.
