Statement of Work July 16, 2020

PRIME-1 Trident Drill Fabrication and Testing

Period of Performance (POP): August 1, 2020 – August 31, 2022

Initiating Center: NASA KSC

1 Objectives The Administration announced in 2019, that NASA would seek to have humans return to the Moon by 2024 and reach a sustainable lunar presence by 2028. This accelerated lunar presence enables the Moon to serve as a test-bed for future Mars missions. The work detailed in this Statement of Work (SOW) feeds forward into the work originally outlined in Honeybee Robotics’ (HBR) proposal entitled “RedWater: Extraction of Water from Mars’ Ice Deposits” (RedWater) in that it fabricates a spaceflight-ready drill intended to access water-enriched regolith on the Moon before a Mars application. All drills developed by HBR are tested as part of their nominal development cycle, are evaluated at Martian pressures in HBR facilities before being tested in lunar vacuum pressures. This dual facility testing directly informs the HBR Mars drilling systems originally detailed in the RedWater proposal, thus enabling both Moon and Mars drilling operations.

2 Statement of Work The PRIME-1 NASA Baseline Drill (NBD) will be developed, built and tested to be ready for integration into the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) lander. In particular, HBR will focus on the following:

• Final design updates and final fabrication drawings to flight levels (post-Critical Design Review (CDR)), including technical review board assessments held internal to HBR peer review.

• Procure, fabricate, and assemble avionics Flight Qualification Unit (FQU) (hardware cost estimates shall be submitted utilizing the most recent Bill of Materials (BOM)). The FQU is a second-generation Avionics development, using flight-like Electrical Electronic and mailto:PCChu@honeybeerobotics.com mailto:VRVendiola@honeybeerobotics.com mailto:zacny@honeybeerobotics.com

Electromechanical (EEE) components, some of which do not have full lot qualification history.

• Procure, fabricate and assemble flight mechanical and avionics hardware (hardware cost estimates shall be submitted utilizing the most recent BOM). The avionics flight hardware is a third-generation Avionics development, using fully qualified lot qualification history for EEE components. This is identical in design to the FQU, but has fully-qualified EEE components.

• Procure and fabricate electrical and mechanical ground support equipment (GSE) for testing (hardware cost estimates shall be submitted utilizing the most recent GSE BOM).

• Perform Comprehensive Performance Testing (CPT) on the NBD drill mechanical hardware post-fabrication using FQU. This testing ensures readiness for entry into Verification and Validation (V&V) testing (note V&V testing is not part of this contract only readiness to enter).

• Perform Integrated End-to-End CPT of NBD drill and Flight Avionics post-fabrication using flight software and ground data system developed during the design phase.

• Support weekly and monthly telecons (total 3-5 hours per week), as well as monthly reporting on schedule and technical progress.
