About this file
This is a Statement of Work for Iridium CERTUS Communication Services supporting NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Earth Science Division Airborne Science Program (ASP).
The contractor must provide a minimum of 1,000 MB of CERTUS data services monthly for at least 8 NASA aircraft, with flexibility to add additional data services as needed. Aircraft tail numbers and modems may change monthly. Required specifications include provisioning public static IP addresses, protecting sensitive user information, ensuring compatibility with the dedicated EMSS gateway through DISN, and providing direct connectivity to the Defense Switched Network (DSN), Federal Telecommunications System (FTS), or Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN). The statement of work also requires Aireon ADS-B aircraft tracking services for a minimum of 4 aircraft tail numbers per month with satellite-only, 8-second latency capability, with options for monthly additions or substitutions. Additionally, the contractor must provide a minimum of 3 Short Burst Data services for portable devices to track participating assets during NASA Science Field Campaigns. The statement of work notes the program may include acquisition of handheld tracking devices equivalent to SHOUT TW models current at the time of writing. The initial contract period is one year from award, with anticipated continuation of the same services for at least the next five years based on consistent demand for data telemetry services.

Statement of Work Iridium CERTUS Communication Service
NASA SMD ESD Airborne Science Program
Background/History:
The NASA SMD Earth Science Division Airborne Science Program (ASP) makes use of the Iridium satellite constellation to enable world-wide telemetry of aircraft state data including position, real-time telemetry of payload data, in addition to pilot telephony.
The Program has recently updated onboard IT systems to enable higher-bandwidth Iridum CERTUS satellite communications services. The service is used to enable realtime tracking of aircraft position, to enable payload operators to remotely login to their systems to receive status information or to reset their instruments as necessary, and it can also be used to bring down relevant realtime data from payloads to inform mission planning and execution.
Requirement Specifications:
The requirement is to provide a minimum of 1000MB of CERTUS data services per month for a minimum of 8 NASA aircraft in support of NASA ASP flight missions, with the ability to provide additional data services per month as needed. The aircraft tail numbers and modems may change each month.
Specifications:
Must provide Public static IP addresses.
Must be able to provide protection of sensitive user information.
Must be compatible with the dedicated EMSS gateway through DISN.
Must be able to provide a direct connection to the Defense Switched
Network (DSN), Federal Telecommunications System (FTS) or Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN)
The Program also requires aircraft tracking services. For contracted aviation services or NASA aircraft that aren’t equipped with networking hardware we require Aireon ADS-B tracking services for a minimum of 4 aircraft tail numbers per month, with a satellite only, 8-sec latency. We require options for adding or substituting additional aircraft on a per month basis.
The program also requires Short Burst Data services. These services will be utilized by portable devices to provide coordinated tracking of participating assets during NASA Science Field Campaigns. A minimum of 3 services are required.
The program may include the acquisition of handheld tracking devices, equivalent to the SHOUT TW models current at the time of this writing.
Period of Performance:
One year from Contract award. We anticipate that the same services will be needed for at least the next 5 years based upon consistent demand for data telemetry services by this Program and the project it supports.
