Vacuum Ultraviolet Interline Camera

Background
The contract is issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), specifically through the NASA Shared Services Center. The mission of NASA includes conducting research and development in aeronautics and space exploration.

The goal of this contract is to procure an Intensified Charge Coupled Device (ICCD) camera system that will replace an outdated model, which is no longer serviceable. This system will support critical measurements for characterizing shock wave properties in high-speed planetary entry scenarios for destinations such as Mars and Earth.
