STP is seeking a flight system to include the Spacecraft (SC), Payload (PL) integration, SC testing, launch vehicle integration and 1 year of on-orbit operations and payload data distribution. The Government will use this RFI Worksheet for market research purposes for the STEP 2.0 acquisition to obtain a better understanding of the industrial base. A response to this RFI Worksheet will allow for schedule prioritization of one-on-one Government interactions with industry.

Respondents should complete this questionnaire based on a SC that would meet the STEP 2.0 requirements and submit this completed worksheet to the POC listed on the industry day announcement.
