Quick Brief

The Department of Defense's Space Systems Command is seeking information on orbit raising solutions that minimize the transfer time from Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) to Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) for satellites weighing 2946-6000 kg. The focus is on integrating these solutions into a hybrid launch vehicle transport system.

Scope & Requirements

Evaluate emerging launch systems for potential integration into a hybrid launch vehicle transport system, focusing on minimizing the transfer time from GTO to GEO for satellites weighing 2946-6000 kg.

Deliverables

  • Mass/C.G. curve of overall stack from Standard interface plane at 2946 kg to 6000 kg
  • Description and figures depicting the solution
  • Swap characteristics of orbit raising system
  • Ease of integration with ESPA compliant host ring and launch vehicle
  • Anticipated cost, schedule, and manpower requirements
  • Mechanical and electrical interfaces (ICDs, if available)
  • Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL)
  • Block diagrams and subsystems denoting key components and sources
  • Identification of critical path items / long lead items
  • Anticipated schedule from ATP – delivery, noting key milestones
  • Total Program Cost (NRE phases 1 and 2, RE phase)
  • Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing
  • Available contract vehicles
  • Estimated production lead times
  • Intellectual property/licensing considerations
