TASK ORDER RFP

ISS External Hardware Storage Platform

Funding Organization: (ISS Program)

Task Order Manager: (NASA/JSC)

Technical Monitor: (NASA/JSC)

Type of Task Order: Firm Fixed Price

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The International Space Station (ISS) Program is asking the Offerors to utilize their commercial approaches defined in their response to DRD REMIS-PM-01, Commercialization Approach

(CA), to design, manufacture, verify, and deliver the External Hardware Storage Platform to

NASA.

NASA has a need to be able to capture external hardware on the ISS and keep it within acceptable temperature limits. For example, the Ammonia Leak Locator (ALL) was designed to be stored internal to the ISS modules, taken out the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Airlock, then robotically used to detect ammonia leaks; however, due to the high demand on the JEM

Airlock, it has not been prioritized high enough to even demonstrate the capability.

Additionally, it would be beneficial in terms of response time to be able to immediately robotically grasp the ALL and take it to detect leaks rather than have to schedule the crew time to set up the JEM Airlock to take it out. NASA thinks that additional hardware items might need this type of storage platform too, so this Task Order (TO) asks for a generic capability to park pieces of hardware externally such that they can be maintained thermally but still be grasped by the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM), removed and reinstalled.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall provide a storage platform system that meets the following requirements:

1. Able to capture and structurally retain hardware to include the ALL and other packages with the following characteristics:

a. Minimum dimensions 10 inches in each of x, y, and z

b. Minimum mass of 100 lbm

c. Outer surfaces that are uneven and not necessarily flat

2. Able to operate without assistance from extravehicular Activity (EVA) or ISS Robotics systems to capture, retain, or remove the payload. Assume the Special Purpose Dexterous

Manipulator (SPDM) presents the payload (or target hardware) to the platform, and SPDM is not driving any platform mechanism.

3. Maintain temperatures for captured equipment inside the External Hardware Storage

Platform to within 0 deg F – 145 deg F range without any power interface to the captured hardware itself (i.e., don’t use internal payload heaters within the captured hardware).

4. Interface to ISS camera ports at Camera Port 5 (CP5) or Camera Port 7 (CP7) in accordance with:

a. SSP 42159, Space Station Program Video Camera Support Assembly (VCSA)

Standard Interface Control Document for power and structural interface, or

b. SSP 42159 for power and interface to nearby EVA Worksite Interface (WIF) sockets for structural mounting.

The government has developed a WIF Adapter design that can be made available to the

Offeror upon request. Reference drawing SEG16104177-301, Active WIF Probe

Assembly.

5. Use Ethernet for the command and control interface; wireless Ethernet is preferred.

6. Define cable routing and provide EVA compatible cable restraint hardware that is designed to external environment requirements (reference SSP 57003), if required.

7. Be robotically compatible to allow for the payload (or target hardware item) to be installed and removed with the SPDM.

8. Be remotely commandable from ground control to capture and retain the payload, and conversely to let go of the payload once SPDM has fully grasped it.

9. Stay out of Mobile Servicing System (MSS) robotic corridor, as referenced in SSP

57003, External Payload Interface Requirements Document, paragraph K.3.1.6.2.

10. Comply with applicable requirements of SSP 57003.

11. Can be EVA installed and shall comply with EVA requirements, as referenced in SSP 57003.

If the storage platform is EVA installed, the time to install shall not exceed the duration of 1

EVA. EVA time will be a proposal evaluation criteria.

12. Provide confirmation that the payload is structurally captured and secured.

13. Be one-fault tolerant for the capability to release the payload without EVA or ISS Robotic assist.

14. Have EVA contingency release for the payload or sufficient redundancy to ensure the payload can be removed.

15. On orbit life of 10 year minimum without requiring EVA maintenance.

16. Support installation, activation and 6 months of on-orbit operations.

17. Support launch on an ISS Visiting Vehicle (VV), excluding Russian VV’s. The goal is to launch in an M03, (reference SEG33117683-301) internal dimensions without attenuating foam are (51.75”x 35.06” x 20.75”) cargo bag or smaller. The design should account for added loads attenuating foam.
