Description

NASA/MSFC has a requirement for continued support to Hinode mission science operations. Hinode was designated by the U.S. Department of State as an international partnership mission. The mission objective is to expand solar science, specifically, to investigate the magnetic activity of the Sun, including its generation, energy transfer and release of magnetic energy. Hinode was originally known as “Solar B” and was launched from Japan on 23 September 2006. The Hinode contracts were competitively selected by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters (HQ) in response to Announcement of Opportunity AO-98-OSS-05 to provide the Focal Plane Package for the Solar-B mission. These contracts are in support of the Focal Plan Package Mission Operations and Data Analysis (MO&DA) activities. The mission is a partnership between NASA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAxA) and the U.K. Science and Technology Facilities Council. JAxA owns and operates the Hinode spacecraft, NASA operates the science instruments and also provides in-kind communications support for the mission.

NASA is tasked with being the primary manager of the on-board instruments and manages the three instrument-support prime contractors: Contract No. NNM07AA01C, Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL); Contract No. NNM07AB07C, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO); and Interagency Agreement No. 80MSFC24TA022, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The three Hinode instruments are intended to observe targets in harmony, along with simultaneous observations conducted with other instruments. A summary of each contract vehicle is provided below:
