TASK ORDER RFP

CIR Diagnostic Upgrade – HiBMS

Funding Organization: (NASA) Task Order Manager: (NASA GRC) Technical Monitor: (NASA GRC)

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 REMIS-PM-01, Commercialization Approach (CA), to design and develop a replacement High Bit Depth Multispectral (Hi-BMS) diagnostic package for the Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR).

The Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR) provides an ISS facility that focuses on combustion science and research. The CIR Flight Unit, along with Multi-Droplet Combustion Apparatus (MDCA), was delivered to the ISS in November 2008 and started operations in early 2009. The CIR is in the operations and sustaining engineering phase that includes the flight unit operations for physical science utilization of the ISS, along with sustaining engineering of the flight and ground infrastructure. In addition to the flight unit on the ISS, the CIR has a Ground Integration Unit (GIU) at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) and a trainer at NASA JSC.

The CIR provides key diagnostics to support various gaseous, solid, and liquid combustion research. The combustion program has performed significant research in liquid drop combustion research and in 2017 will be transitioning to gaseous combustion research as part of the Advanced Combustion in Microgravity Experiment (ACME) series. All of the current CIR imaging diagnostic packages utilizes a single Image Processing and Storage Unit (IPSU) per camera. The current camera interfaces have become obsolete and the IPSUs have at times been unreliable in operations and failure of hard drives. A new IPSU has been developed that provides more modern camera interfaces (Gig-E Vision and USB-3) and can support up to four

(4) cameras per IPSU to support new diagnostics. Also, a new color camera diagnostic and an intensified UV Camera have been developed to replace some of the current diagnostic suite to meet new science requirements (ACME and Cool Flames Investigation). The remaining set of diagnostics, such as the Hi-BMS, needs to be replaced to allow the complete replacement of the old IPSUs that have shown to cause operational issues due to slow processing speeds and aging hard drives. The investigators have also requested a need for a new HiBMS diagnostic capability to provide automated filter change-out (currently requires crew time) along with additional resolution and enhanced features of the camera and imaging.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

The contractor is expected to provide all required engineering and Mission Integration and Operations (MI&O) functions necessary to ensure the hardware and software delivered for flight meets the following requirements:

1. The intent of SSP 30599, Safety Review Process, as defined by processes defined in the proposed Commercialization Approach.

2. All applicable requirement in SSP 57000 Rev. R, Pressurized Payloads Interface Requirements Document, or appropriate carrier (Combustion Integrated Rack) interface requirements.

3. CIR interface requirements per FCF-IDD-CIR, Combustion Integrated Rack Payload Interface Definition Document.

4. Interface with the IPSU-G as defined in Image Processing and Storage Unit GigE Vision Engineering Requirements Document (ERD), FCF-REQ-4294 Rev A.

5. The contractor is responsible for the mission success of the HiBMS to achieve the imaging requirements.

3.0 STATEMENT OF WORK

In accordance with the REMIS Statement of Work (SOW), this task order is requiring the contractor to:

1. The contractor shall design and develop a new CIR HiBMS diagnostic package that builds off the Intensified Camera package design and meets the top-level requirements provided in Table 1, HiBMS Top Level Requirements.

2. The contractor shall determine the HiBMS camera and associated filters that will meet the future needs of ACME and Solid Flame Ignition and Extinction (SoFIE) science experiments. Note: that the two flight units may have different filters.

3. Deliver the following units to NASA (the contractor shall propose the delivery dates for each unit or kit):

a. HiBMS for CIR Flight Unit – quantity 2,

b. HiBMS for CIR Ground Integration Unit at NASA GRC – quantity 2,

c. HiBMS spare kit (all parts necessary to assemble a spare at a later date),

d. HiBMS to IPSU-G Cable – quantity 4.

4. The contractor shall hold a design review with NASA on the proposed HiBMS hardware design and associated compliance to the requirements.

5. Prepare and submit all manifesting documentation for the two HiBMS units to be delivered to the ISS.

6. Coordinate with the CIR Sustaining Engineering contractor to assure the units can be properly commanded and operated in the CIR GIU. The CIR Sustaining Engineering (SE) Contractor will be responsible for the IPSU-G software modifications required to properly operate the HiBMS diagnostic unit.
