Purchase of MPL Environmental Enclosures

PR: 4200816094

Background

The NASA MPLNET project has been in operation since 2000 and collects information on the vertical distribution of atmospheric aerosols and clouds to support the NASA Earth Science research program. The project utilizes specific, commercially available atmospheric lidar instruments manufactured by Droplet Measurement Technologies (formerly Leica Geosystems, and Sigma Space Corporation before that). The lidar instruments are Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) and mini Micro Pulse Lidar (a smaller, cheaper form factor).

MPLNET deploys these lidar instruments worldwide, and they must be installed inside an environmental enclosure with an observation window for network operations. MPLNET uses all-weather enclosures from Aether Embedded that are designed specifically for the MPL and miniMPL. These meet all our requirements. Here we seek to procure 3 engineering duplicates of the all-weather enclosures with included sun baffles and 1 additional sun baffle for an existing enclosure at NASA.
