Tender Details
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is soliciting information on low-cost concepts for the development, launch, and operations of a radiometer component to fly in formation with the Fleet for the Atmosphere Linking Commercial Observations with NASA (FALCON). For this Request for Information (RFI), NASA is targeting a commercially owned and operated microwave radiometer capability to fly in formation with the NASA constellation. The instrument, supporting platform, launch, and operations should fully leverage commercial capabilities, and this RFI invites recommendations on the most effective approaches to facilitate this.
This RFI seeks responses broadly from industry, universities, non-profit organizations, individuals, NASA centers, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), other U.S. federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies, and the international community.
