This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for technical support services related to the Venus Atmospheric Structure Investigation (VASI) instrument program.

The SOW defines a 14-month technical support contract beginning from the award date. The contractor shall provide engineering support for accelerometers and angular rate sensors, including technical assistance for using, integrating, and testing these components. The contractor will support both VASI sensor development and separately procured VASI Engineering Development Units (EDUs). Performance will be conducted offsite at the vendor's location. The contractor is required to interface with project staff and participate in one kickoff event plus seven technical exchange meetings throughout the contract period. The VASI instrument is designed to characterize the fine-scale structure and dynamics of the Venus atmosphere during entry and descent, including detailed profiling of the deep atmosphere, utilizing a suite of sensors with associated data processing capabilities for atmospheric structure measurements and descent trajectory reconstruction.
