Original - NASA/GSFC has a requirement for engineering support on the operation and performance of the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument, particularly the Sample Manipulation System (SMS), which is currently operating aboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars. This support includes management of the on-board Sample Manipulation System (SMS) and sample heating ovens, as well as the operations and maintenance of a ground-based engineering testbed with components identical to those currently operating on the surface of Mars). Continued expertise is required for the nominal operations of the SMS during Mars sample analysis as well as for trade-off analyses involving fast sample transfers in a contaminated environment, required because of an on-board anomaly involving N-methyl-N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) a derivatization reagent fluid. Expertise is required for (1) continued instrument operations on Mars; (2) development of operational scripts to be used...
