5. Sole Source Justification Chris Koehler, formerly with NASA’s Colorado Space Grant, created and has conducted RockOn and RockSat programs for 17 years with the WFF Sounding Rocket Program. During this time, he has created the hardware, code, and integration systems to guide student teams through the process of launching their experiments. Now through his company SPINS, LLC (Student Projects IN Space), he has agreed to assist with RockOn, RockSat-C and RockSat-X as WFF transitions these student flight opportunities to be conducted totally by WFF through the Directorate Education Team and the Sounding Rocket Program. The expertise and experience to support the development, flight, and analysis of undergraduate RockOn and RockSat student science research experience with a 90% success rate is not available from another company or individual.
