Background

A 2.5 meter diameter, carbon-fiber optic (mirror) that was previously flown on astrophysical research balloon in Antarctica is to be shipped from a storage facility in California to NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center for the purpose of optical and mechanical testing.

Scope

The mirror is attached to a metal three-element mounting frame, and it is in a crate. The entire package, including crate weighs 1350 lbs. It has dimensions of 118 x 113 x 43 inches, see Figure 1.

This item is to be shipped from Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, California (postal code 93043) to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt Maryland (20771).

Requirements

• Delivery of above product from Naval Base Ventura County (postal code 93043) to Goddard Space Flight Center (postal code 20771)

• A partial or dedicated trailer should be used. Partial means we can share truck space with another shipment or dedicated, which means our package is the only shipment on the truck; but we do not want an “LTL” shipment, whereby the package may be loaded/unloaded onto more than one truck to complete various legs of its journey; each load/unload increases the risk of damage in transit.

• An “Air Ride” trailer should be used (Air Ride is an improved suspension that mitigates shock and vibration, which is a potential source of damage)

• The package must be protected from weather (tarped; since it will not fit inside a standard trailer)

• Price should include all necessary permits
