Attachment 2 – Required Information

RFI #: WH-2671-060419 for Science Biology and Geology Designated Observable Study

REQUIRED INFORMATION

Please provide the following information below:

1. Organization information: Organization name and address, point-of-contact name, E-mail address, phone number.

2. Abstract: Provide a brief summary of the system concept or participatory engagement approach.

3. System concept: Describe the architecture concept or measurement capability and functions, how it addresses the objectives and requirements in this RFI, and its maturity

(Technology Readiness Level) both at present and projected with maturation plan at the time of implementation (if for a future capability).

4. Development approach: Outline the approach and timeline for developing and testing the system concept.

5. Performance Capability: Refer back to capability table.

6. Calibration: Describe the methods used or planned for providing calibrated data (i.e., how is data quality maintained), and validating that the data meet specifications.

7. Technology Evolution or Infusion: Describe the aspects of the system concept that will evolve over the lifetime of the program and how that technology will be infused in the described mission architecture.

8. System Cost Estimate: Provide a rough order-of-magnitude (ROM) estimate of the cost to build the system concept with accompanying assumptions and rationale (for reference purposes only). For instrument capabilities, if no ROM is provided to the SBG architecture team intends to run NASA’s Instrument Cost Model (NICM). Respondents are asked to provide enough information to allow runs of NICM at the system (or subsystem) level: total instrument mass, subsystem masses (if known), power needs, instantaneous data rates, telescope dimensions and type, passive or active cooling, focal plane operating temperature, detector type and
