| NNH16CO96C | IGF::OT::IGF BAA - NEXT SPACE TECHNOLOGIES FOR EXPLORATION PARTNERSHIPS (NEXTSTEP) PROPOSAL - HABITATION. NASA HAS INCREASINGLY EMBRACED PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS FOR ACHIEVING ITS STRATEGIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR EXPANDING THE FRONTIERS OF KNOWLEDGE, CAPABILITY, AND OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE. THE NEXT STEP FOR HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION CAPABILITIES TO SUPPORT MORE EXTENSIVE MISSIONS IN THE PROVING GROUND AROUND AND BEYOND CISLUNAR SPACE. AN IMPORTANT PART OF NASAS STRATEGY IS TO STIMULATE THE COMMERCIAL SPACE INDUSTRY WHILE LEVERAGING THOSE SAME COMMERCIAL CAPABILITIES THROUGH FUTURE CONTRACTS AND PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO DELIVER MISSION CAPABILITIES. NASAS ACTIVITIES IN ENABLING THE PIONEERING OF SPACE ARE BEING DRIVEN BY A SET OF GUIDING PRINCIPLES: IMPLEMENTABLE IN THE NEAR-TERM WITH THE BUYING POWER OF CURRENT BUDGETS AND IN THE LONGER TERM WITH BUDGETS COMMENSURATE WITH ECONOMIC GROWTH; EXPLORATION ENABLES SCIENCE AND SCIENCE ENABLES EXPLORATION APPLICATION OF HIGH TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL (TRL) TECHNOLOGIES FOR NEAR TERM MISSIONS, WHILE FOCUSING SUSTAINED INVESTMENTS ON TECHNOLOGIES AND CAPABILITIES TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES OF FUTURE MISSIONS; NEAR-TERM MISSION OPPORTUNITIES WITH A DEFINED CADENCE OF COMPELLING AND INTEGRATED HUMAN AND ROBOTIC MISSIONS PROVIDING FOR AN INCREMENTAL BUILDUP OF CAPABILITIES FOR MORE COMPLEX MISSIONS OVER TIME; OPPORTUNITIES FOR U.S. COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE AND BUSINESS BASE MULTI-USE, EVOLVABLE SPACE INFRASTRUCTURE, MINIMIZING UNIQUE MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS; SUBSTANTIAL INTERNATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL PARTICIPATION, LEVERAGING CURRENT INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND OTHER PARTNERSHIPS. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP A SIMPLE, LOW COST EXPLORATION AUGMENTATION MODULE (EAM) THAT IS AFFORDABLE EARLY ON, THAT ALLOWS VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES TO BE TESTED OVER TIME, AND THAT IS CAPABLE OF EVOLVING INTO A LONG-DURATION CREW SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR CISLUNAR AND MARS EXPLORATION. | 2015-12-21 → 2026-04-30 | $26M |

BOEING SHALL PERFORM THE INDIVIDUAL STUDIES AS FOLLOWS. 2.1 INDIVIDUAL STUDIES 2.11 DEFINE AN APPROACH FOR THE PPE DESIGN AND VERIFICATION TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED FUNCTIONALITY WITH SUFFICIENT RELIABILITY, FAULT PROTECTION AND AVAILABILITY TO OPERATE AS PART OF A HUMAN-RATED SYSTEM FOR ALL CREWED MISSION PHASES. THIS COULD INCLUDE THE USE OF RELEVANT DATA FROM ON-ORBIT OPERATION OF SUBSYSTEMS IF THE PPE USE CASE IS APPLICABLE, SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF UNITS AND CUMULATIVE OPERATING HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED, AND FAILURE MODES ARE SUFFICIENTLY WELL UNDERSTOOD TO ESTABLISH THE CONFIDENCE AND MARGIN NEEDED FOR USE AS PART OF A HUMAN-RATED SYSTEM. 2.1.2 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO THE USE OF STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND ENGINEERING PROCESSES TO ASSURE A PPE DESIGN THAT COST-EFFECTIVELY MINIMIZES THE PROBABILITY OF THE OCCURRENCE OF FAILURE MODES THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF SELECTIVE REDUNDANCY, FACTORS OF SAFETY, OR OTHER DESIGN MARGINS AS NECESSARY FOR OPERATION AS PART OF A HUMAN-RATED SYSTEM. 2.1.3 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO PERFORMING PROPULSIVE ORBITAL MAINTENANCE MANEUVERS FOR ENTIRE DSG INTEGRATED WITH A RANGE OF POSSIBLE STACK CONFIGURATIONS. 2.1.4 DEFINE AN APPROACH FOR PPE OPERATION DURING THE RENDEZVOUS AND DOCKING OF CREWED AND UNCREWED VISITING VEHICLES INCLUDING ORION WITH A DSG. 2.1.5 DEFINE AN APPROACH FOR THE PPE TO PROVIDE A DSG WITH UNCREWED AUTONOMOUS ORBIT-TRANSFER CAPABILITY. 2.1.6 DEFINE AN APPROACH FOR THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND OPERATION OF A HIGH-RELIABILITY PPE POWER GENERATION AND POWER TRANSFER CAPABILITY AS PART OF A DSG. 2.1.7 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO HOSTING TWO IDSS PASSIVE INTERFACES AND ASSESSMENT FOR HOW THIS DRIVES SYSTEM TECHNICAL RISK, COST, AND SCHEDULE. 2.1.8 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE MINIMAL 15 YEAR PPE OPERATIONAL LIFETIME REQUIREMENT. 2.1.9 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO LONG-TERM AUTONOMOUS OPERATION IN THE CIS-LUNAR ENVIRONMENT INCLUDING FAULT MONITORING, DETECTION, AND HANDLING. 2.1.10 DEFINE AN APPROACH FOR THE PPE TO PROVIDE HIGH-RELIABILITY COMMUNICATIONS FOR A DSG. 2.1.11 PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT OF ACCOMMODATING AN OPTICAL COMMUNICATION DEMONSTRATION ONBOARD THE PPE. 2.1.12 PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT, INCLUDING REVIEWING AND PROVIDING COMMENTS, OF NASA DEFINED ENGINEERING DESIGN&CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS, AND-OR SAFETY AND MISSION ASSURANCE STANDARDS THAT MAY BE PROPOSED FOR THE PPE IN A HUMAN RATED DSG. 2.1.13 IDENTIFY AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL SYNERGIES BETWEEN THE PPE SPECIFIC CAPABILITIES AND BOTH THE CURRENT AND FUTURE CAPABILITIES FOR THE COMMERCIAL MARKET. THIS INCLUDES IDENTIFICATION OF PPE SPECIFIC CAPABILITIES THAT MAY BE BEYOND CURRENT OR PLANNED COMMERCIAL CAPABILITIES. THIS COULD ALSO INCLUDE A VARIETY OF TOPICS SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF ADVANCED SOLAR ELECTRIC PROPULSION AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS FOR PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS MODELS INCLUDING OPTIONS FOR POTENTIAL COST SHARE OR COST CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ADDRESSES INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, ASSET OWNERSHIP, AND TIMING OF DELIVERY OF THE ASSET AND-OR SERVICES TO THE GOVERNMENT. 2.1.14 PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT OF ACQUIRING HIGH POWER, HIGH THROUGHPUT ELECTRIC PROPULSION STRINGS AS PART OF THE COMMERCIAL BUS, RATHER THAN THROUGH A GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT ROUTE. 2.1.15 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO PROVIDING ACCOMMODATIONS OF POTENTIAL -INTERNATIONAL OR DOMESTIC PARTNER PROVIDED- HARDWARE SUCH AS ROBOTIC FIXTURES, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION AND UTILIZATION AND OTHER POSSIBLE ELEMENTS. 2.1.16 DEFINE AN APPROACH TO ADDRESSING ABILITY TO MANAGE BATTERIES CHARGE AND DISCHARGE DURING DIFFERENT ECLIPSE DURATIONS | 2017-11-17 → 2018-03-21 | $500K |
| NNH14CK96C | IGF::OT::IGF THIS IS FOR CONDUCTING LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE MECHANICAL AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ICY REGOLITH LIKELY TO BE FOUND IN THE PERMANENTLY SHADOWED LUNAR POLAR CRATERS. THE STRENGTH OF ICY MATERIALS MUST BE DETERMINED TO ENABLE THE DESIGN OF AN EFFECTIVE DRILL AND SAMPLING SYSTEM. THE THERMAL PROPERTIES OF ICY MATERIALS MUST ALSO BE KNOWN TO ENSURE THAT EVAPORATIVE LOSS OF ICE WOULD NOT OCCUR DURING DRILLING. THE CONTRACTOR PLANS TO CHARACTERIZE THE MECHANICAL AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ICY REGOLITH MARE AND HIGHLAND LUNAR SIMULANTS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF WATER CONTENT, IN A VACUUM CHAMBER AT TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO TEMPERATURES FOUND IN PERMANENTLY SHADOWED CRATERS. ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE STUDY IS TO DETERMINE AN UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (UCS) OF MIXTURES OF LUNAR SOIL SIMULANT AND WATER AND OTHER ICES AT LOW TEMPERATURE AS A FUNCTION OF ICE CONTENT. THE UCS IS THE PRIMARY PROPERTY OF THE MATERIAL THAT AFFECTS DRILLING AND EXCAVATION ENERGY, REQUIRED POWER, AND WEIGHT-ON-BIT. UNDERSTANDING THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ICY SOIL AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES IS IMPORTANT FROM A SCIENTIFIC STANDPOINT AND ALSO IN DETERMINING WHETHER A PROPOSED EXCAVATION OPERATION WOULD THERMALLY ALTER THE DEPOSIT.

THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF INTEREST INCLUDE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, SPECIFIC HEAT, AND THE LATENT HEAT OF FUSION OF SOIL-ICE MIXTURES OVER THE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES EXPECTED IN THE PERMANENTLY SHADOWED CRATERS. THERMAL PROPERTIES OF WATER ICE DEPEND STRONGLY ON TEMPERATURE; HOWEVER, THE PROPERTIES OF SOIL-ICE MIXTURES AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES IN VACUUM HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED. HERE THE CONTRACTOR PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE THE THERMAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL-ICE MIXTURES RANGING FROM A FEW PERCENT TO 12 PERCENT (SATURATED) WATER BY WEIGHT. | 2014-09-24 → 2019-03-31 | $488K |
