Light Detection and Ranging Sensor for OSAM-1 Mission

Background
Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is seeking information for potential sources for a new procurement of LIDAR sensors for the On Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM-1) Mission. The mission aims to capture the Landsat 7 (LS7) satellite, refuel its propellant tanks, demonstrate robotic assembly and manufacturing of new structures in space. The LIDAR is a key relative sensor used in the rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) subsystem of OSAM-1.

Work Details
The LIDAR procurement includes the fabrication and verification of a sensor that can satisfy specific requirements such as mission life, orbit, mass, dimensions, power, command/telemetry, field of view, operational range, number of points per image, image frequency, range accuracy, and bearing accuracy. The tentative delivery schedule includes milestones for emulator, engineering development unit (EDU), and two flight units.

Capability statements are requested to provide company information, ability to perform all aspects of the effort designed in Tables 1 and 2, performance/experience related to previous LIDAR requirements relevant to OSAM-1, contract structure input for the OSAM-1 LIDAR procurement, and information on international partners if applicable.
