AMENDMENT 002 Answers bidder questions ------------------------------------------------------ AMENDMENT 001 See the request for proposal document. ------------------------------------------------------ Project Title Feasibility study of the Aerosol Limb Imager (ALI), the Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water (SHOW) and the Thin Ice Cloud in Far InfraRed Experiment (TICFIRE), instruments for the Aerosols - Cloud, Convection, Precipitation (A-CCP) mission
Description In late 2018 NASA began a three year study of two priority designated observables ? Aerosols and Cloud-Convection-Precipitation (A-CCP) ? to leverage the advantages of a single synergistic observing system. NASA invited the Canadian Space Agency to participate in a workshop concerning the A-CCP pre-formulation study. The CSA extended this invitation to scientists from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and to scientists with relevant expertise from Canadian universities. The Canadian delegation to this workshop made a presentation about potential Canadian contributions to the mission.
This was followed up by submission of technical information about potential Canadian instrument contributions to the A-CCP mission. These are: the Aerosol Limb Imager (ALI), the Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water (SHOW), and the Thin Ice Clouds in Far InfraRed Experiment (TICFIRE).
Initial NASA assessments have indicated that the Canadian instruments ALI, SHOW and TICFIRE will enhance baseline observations and may be accommodated on A-CCP spacecraft.
With this RFP, the CSA will undertake work by Canadian industry to carefully examine the current instrument concepts, the user and science requirements that were recently established by the Canadian science teams for each of these instruments on the A-CCP mission, the mission constraints imposed by NASA, and technology and design options in order to identify the optimal instrument concept, estimate costs and chart the path to technology readiness. One contract by stream will be awarded.
Stream 1: For the Aerosol Limb Imager (ALI) instrument Stream 2: For the Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water (SHOW) instrument Stream 3: For the Thin Ice Cloud in Far InfraRed Experiment (TICFIRE) instrument
Bidders can submit a proposal for each Stream.
In the event they wish to submit bids for both Streams 1, 2 and 3, bidders must provide separate bids, and clearly identify on each bid (1, 2 or 3) for which Stream they are proposing their services.
