1 INTRODUCTION
This statement of work (SOW) will serve as the legal contract between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the contract awardee for the design, fabrication, testing and delivery, henceforth referred to as the production cycle, of two receiver telescopes for use on the Atmospheric Lidar Instrument for Cloud and Aerosol Transport (ALICAT) instrument that will fly onboard the Atmosphere Observing System-Inclined (AOS-I) spacecraft.
Among other things, this document will clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each party, the expectations of the contractor and the requirements governing the production cycle of each telescope.
Should any questions arise at any point during the production cycle of the telescopes, the contractor is instructed to contact GSFC for guidance.
1.1 General Requirements
The new ALICAT telescopes will be based on the beryllium telescope design used on Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS). The ALICAT telescopes will differ from the GLAS telescope in many respects including size, optical prescription, and optical performance requirements. For more information regarding the technical specifications and requirements of the telescopes, refer to the ALICAT Receiver Telescope Specifications (ALICAT-OPT-SPEC- 0001). We plan to accommodate the better performance using a specially-built aft optics assembly and the Ritchey–Chrétien configuration.
Although the ALICAT telescope design will be based on the GLAS telescopes, the contractor will ultimately be responsible, with GSFC’s oversight, for the design and fabrication of the telescope. Furthermore, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to ensure the assembled telescopes meet all specifications and requirements.
