Guarding Package

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking a contractor to design and perform microgravity experiments using a 6-axis industrial robot. The experiments aim to improve understanding of processes such as welding and behavior of materials in microgravity environments, with a focus on in-space manufacturing. The contractor will also provide a guarding system for the FANUC M-20ib/25 robot being used in the experiment, with the work to be performed at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama over a period of three months from the award date, which is projected to be on 8/4/2023.

Products and Services to be provided:

1. Design and execution of microgravity experiments using a 6-axis industrial robot.
2. Data collection and analysis from the experiments.
3. Provision of a guarding system for the FANUC M-20ib/25 robot.
