STATEMENT OF WORK

1.0 Introduction/Background: Space offers a new way of manufacturing that supports industries of the future. The research and development aboard the international Space Station (ISS) under microgravity leading to in-space manufacturing (inSPA) is rapidly expanding. Following the first decade of assembly of the ISS and the subsequent decade of research onboard the ISS National Lab, NASA is now moving boldly into a decade of results with the award of contracts supporting the commercial development of new and promising technologies for in-space manufacturing of advanced materials and products for terrestrial use. NASA’s InSPA portfolio is unique in that it fosters utilization of the ISS for the benefit of the nation and humanity broadly, with no requirement for linkage to NASA’s exploration goals. The ISS remains a critical resource for NASA and its international partners to conduct research and prepare for exploration of the moon and Mars. NASA’s InSPA office in coordination with the ISS National Labs, will continue to utilize the microgravity environment in LEO to prepare astronauts, infrastructure, and equipment for long-duration missions beyond LEO as well as to advance basic and applied research and technology demonstrations for a wide range of U.S. interests. These interests include enhancing national security, strengthening industry leadership, creating high-quality jobs, providing benefits to humanity by developing products that significantly improve the quality of life for people on Earth and finally, enabling the development of an economy in LEO by stimulating demand for scalable and sustainable non-NASA utilization of future commercial LEO destinations.

The investments made so far by NASA is now resulting in new and unique products such as advanced materials that involves exotic glasses and fibers, alloys, ceramics, semiconductors, industrial crystals, large and small molecule crystals, protein crystals for pharmaceuticals, etc. Furthermore, bio-manufacturing is rapidly progressing that include artificial retinas, stem cell reprogramming methodologies, production, and differentiation for personalized medicine, bioprinting of organoids and whole organs, nerve regeneration medical devices, etc. Recant efforts have resulted in groundbreaking discoveries including high quality ZBLAN fibers and artificial retinas which cannot be otherwise possible to develop terrestrially. Many more ongoing projects are promising significant breakthroughs in semiconductors and therapeutic drugs. As such there is a strong need to expeditiously analyze the microgravity grown test samples in-house for validation and subsequently, establish a strong basis for exploring pathways for rapid expansion of commercial LEO economy.

2.0 Scope of Work: A state-of-the art Moku Pro diagnostic suite that is a FPGA-based test and measurement platform with multi-instrument functionality to support the operation of digital microscope, Raman system and various other sensor systems.

3.0 Objectives: The primary objective is to setup a dedicated, in-house lab environment for rapid testing, evaluation, characterization, and validation of microgravity grown test samples. The proposed multi-instrument suite will enable expedited and elegant data processing and analysis of sensor systems.

4.0 Description of the Work/Contractor Tasks: The software instrument requirements of the Moku Pro-Suite are as follows:

o Lock-in Amplifier o Arbitrary Waveform Generator o Oscilloscope o Frequency Response Analyzer o Waveform Generator o PID Controller o Phasemeter o Data Logger o Spectrum Analyzer o Digital Filter Box o Laser Lock Box o FIR Filter Builder o Logic Analyzer / Pattern Generator
