About this file

This document contains a request for information from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration seeking camera systems for use on a lunar rover mission. NASA is seeking 6-10 flight units and a similar number of engineering units of a camera system with two lens options, a wide angle and medium angle, that can meet the technical specifications provided in an attachment. The cameras must be compact, lightweight, low power, and capable of imaging hazards on the lunar surface while operating on a rover at the lunar poles for 120 days in sunlight and shadow. NASA is interested in camera systems with on-board processing capabilities. Responses to the request for information are due by May 5, 2020. The opportunity is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation.
