About this file
This statement of work details requirements for a 1000W compact diode laser system for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center Materials and Processes Lab. The laser must be capable of mounting to a 6-axis robotic arm operating in a thermal vacuum chamber containing lunar regolith simulant from -170°C to 200°C at pressures as low as 1x10^-6 torr. Key specifications include a 1000W power output, 13.3mm maximum spot size, 66 mrad beam quality, 900um minimum focus at 150mm, and a weight under 10kg including optics, chiller lines and fiber. Additional requirements comprise dust resistance to 3 micron particles, closed loop 6kW cooling at 38°C, integration with ROS and diagnostic software, and connection to the robotic arm via a Micro-D 15 pin connector. The vendor must propose a solution meeting these specifications, arrange delivery to NASA Marshall, and provide a minimum two-year warranty, installation, commissioning, shipping, robotic arm and chamber integration support. Delivery is to the NASA Marshall shipping facility in Huntsville, Alabama, with no specified period of performance.

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
1000W Compact Diode Laser
1.0 Background
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Marshall Space Flight Center Materials and Processes Lab has a requirement for a 1000W compact diode laser capable of mounting to the end of a custom 6-axis robotic arm that will operate in a thermal vacuum chamber that contains lunar regolith simulant. This SOW details the vendor tasks and responsibilities necessary for successful performance of the system.
2.0 Characteristics, Scope, and Specifications
NASA MSFC is the lead center for high technology readiness level advanced manufacturing for the agency. In order to test the manufacturability of various advanced materials using additive manufacturing methods a 1000W compact diode laser is required.
The laser optics will be required to operate in a thermal vacuum chamber that can operate at pressures as low as 1x10^-6 torr and temperatures ranging between -170ºC – 200ºC.
The laser optics will also need to be dust resistant to the lunar regolith simulant that will be in the thermal vacuum chamber. Particles no larger than 3 microns shall be capable of passing through the seals. This value has been determined as the lower 10% of the particle size distribution in lunar regolith simulant NU-LHT-4M, shown below. Meeting this requirement can be proven by analysis showing the gaps between the seals and the joint are small enough that dust particles cannot fit through the gap.
It should be noted that the external components required to operate the laser will be outside of the thermal vacuum chamber and will be housed in a climate controlled room.
The power requirements for the laser must meet the following specifications:
• Power Consumption 3kW
• Input Voltage 400-480 3 Phase, PE, 50 or 60Hz
• Operate on a 24V external digital input and 0-10V analog input
The spot size for the laser shall be capable of operating with optics producing up to 13.3mm spot size.
The beam quality shall be 66 mrad.
The minimum focus at a distance of 150mm shall be 900um.
The laser systems that will be attached to the 6-axis robotic arm shall not weigh more than 10kg. This includes the optical system, chiller lines, and laser fiber.
A pilot laser with a 600 – 700 nm wavelength shall be included in the laser system.
The laser fiber shall be 600um NA 0.22.
The power requirements for the chiller must meet the following specifications:
• Closed loop cooling capacity of 6kW at 38°C
• Max power load 4.8 kW at 10.1 Amps
• Input voltage 380V-415V 50Hz or 440-480 60Hz
Power lines, laser fiber, and cooling lines shall capable of being fed into the thermal vacuum chamber through a panel external to the vacuum chamber. Power, the laser fiber, and cooling lines will then be routed to the system internal to the thermal vacuum chamber.
The laser must be capable of being integrated into the Robotic Operating System (ROS) and include its own diagnostic software.
The laser system shall be able to integrate to the 6-axis robotic arm through a Micro-D 15 contact PIN connector (MWDM2L-15P) with #2-56 Jackpost Mechanical Interface, Maximum: 1 Amp per contact.
3.0 Tasks
The vendor shall provide a proposal that demonstrates that the laser system meets the specifications above.
The vendor shall arrange for the laser system to be delivered to the Marshall Space Flight Center shipping and receiving facility. The laser system shall be placed on a pallet that is appropriately secured for transportation via forklift.
4.0 Support and Maintenance
The proposal shall include a minimum of a 2 year warranty, installation and commissioning, and shipping. It shall also include support for integrating the laser system onto the 6-axis robotic arm and support for integrating into the thermal vacuum chamber.
5.0 Place of Performance/Delivery
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Shipping and Receiving – Building 4631 Huntsville, Al 35824
6.0 Period of Performance
There is no period of performance for these materials.
