LAUNCH ACOUSTICS MONITORING STATEMENT OF WORK

Approval Date: Day Month Year Contract Number:

Prepared by: Adekunbi Adewunmi, SLD 30/S5I Prepared on: Day Month Year

1. SCOPE. The scope of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to monitor rocket launch acoustic through acoustic measurements of launch noise and sonic booms produced by rocket ascents and re-entries in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and northern Los Angeles counties. These measurements will include all trajectories and various meteorological conditions. The work consists of

a. Procurement, development, and deployment of eight (8) acoustic monitoring stations and identifying sites for those stations

b. Measurement of launch noise acoustic data at acoustic monitoring stations throughout the listed counties

c. Conducting spatial and statistical analysis of measured acoustic data

d. Conducting simulations using modeling software with rocket trajectories, and historic and forecast meteorological and weather ballon data to understand which factors impact launch noise and sonic booms seasonally

e. Compare modeled results with measured results and coordinate with SLD 30 partners to improve the model

f. Briefing results to SLD 30 and interagency partners
