STATEMENT OF WORK FORMAT

IRAD Project Title :6 µm pulsed OP-GaAs OPO laser for unambiguous water ice detection on other planets Date:11/19/2020

PR: 4200753209

Background

• The project purpose is to demonstrate the 6080 nm laser for water-ice detection on the Moon/Mars from space.

• The project will solve the issue encountered by M3 and Lunar Flashlight projects, could not distinguish the water absorption line from OH-bearing materials. It will directly serve the mission projects: Artemis and In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and so on.

• Laser cavity mirrors are essential components for build up the laser system.

• Include the quotation from TwinStar optics, (see the quotation in Attachment.)

Scope

• Our team includes civil savants Yingxin Ba, Xiaoli Sun, and Aaron Yevick, no contractor.

Requirements

• TwinStar should provide the measured curves of transmission vs Wavelength for each coating.

Deliverables or Delivery Schedule

• TwinStar will complete the task in 10-12 Weeeks

Government-Furnished Equipment and Government-Furnished Information

• We will use some equipment located in GSFC Building 19, N33.

Place of Performance

• The laser demonstration will be completed in GSFC Building 19, N33

• We hope some mirrors to be received before Mar. 2021. We can get the result for mid-year report (April, 2021).
