- Description
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center has a requirement for the design, development, fabrication, alignment, testing, verification, delivery, and associated post-delivery support services for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) Engineering Test Unit (ETU) telescope. As part of its contribution to the European Space Agency (ESA)-led mission, NASA GSFC will deliver the LISA ETU telescope to ESA, which is required to efficiently transfer laser power between optical benches across 2.5 million kilometers in order to transfer enough laser light between spacecraft.
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the items and services from L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (L3Harris) under statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”
L3Harris involvement with LISA began with the LISA Study Office design study in 2018, which was issued to multiple industry partners through a task under NASA-s Mechanical Integration Services and Technologies (MIST) contract. The purpose of the study was to examine the Government-s strawman optical and mechanical design and requirements, assess how it could be built, supply a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate, and a list of risks for building the Structural Thermal Model (STM) and the Engineering Development Unit (EDU) telescopes. The information gained from the study led to a competitive procurement to produce the STM and the EDU telescopes for LISA. L3Harris was awarded NASA GSFC contract 80GSFC20C0056 in 2020 for the development of the LISA STM and EDU telescopes. L3Harris- first telescope in the EDU telescope development program was the STM. It successfully demonstrated the telescope build process and verified that the design and material met the very demanding LISA stability requirements. The second telescope, known as EDU1, was built to meet a... - Documents:
