- Description
- The Air Force intends to award a contract to Lockheed Martin Technical Operations for continuation of unique satellite operations support at 21 SOPS, Onizuka Air Force Station (OAFS, CA. Anticipated performance period is one year with a one-year option to support the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS)-10/Defense Support Program (DS)-22 launch and early orbit mission, and other 21 SOPS operational missions. The effort is for management and labor to conduct operations, operations support, level-1 software and database maintenance, and training and simulation support for 21 SOPS operational missions. It will include highly specialized support for IUS/DSP operations. The IUS is an unmanned, two stage solid rocket motor booster launched from either a Titan IV rocket or from the Space Shuttle payload bay, and can deliver a spacecraft of over 5,000 pounds to a near-geosynchronous orbit. This effort also encompasses support to the following missions, directly related to the IUS mission proficiency: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) programs including the Space Transportation System (STS - a.k.a. Space Shuttle), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite (NOAA), the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TRDSS), and the Propulsive Small Expendable Deployer System (ProSEDS). Booster programs include Athena I, Athena II, Delta II, Delta III, Titan II, and Atlas. Support for these operations is multifaceted, with each part integral to the others. It requires console operators to configure AFSCN resources and provide telemetry, tracking, and commanding connectivity to the IUS vehicle during launch. Launch preparation activities include pre-launch testing, IUS vehicle and system training to Air Force flight Directors, simulation support to the entire IUS Flight Team, procedural planning for launch operations, and Level 1 software and database maintenance support to configure and optimize the software and databases of the Common User Equipment and Mission Unique Equipment used to conduct IUS missions. NASA and Booster Operations require telemetry, tracking and commanding to support launch and early orbit of the Space Shuttle, NOAA, and TDRSS satellites. This includes emergency telemetry support through the AFSCN for NOAA and TDRSS as well as operational planning, execution, and evaluation for the Athena I, Athena II, Delta II, Delta III, Titan II, and Atlas booster programs. Other requirements include routing and recording of telemetry data from AFSCN resources to either the Eastern or Western Ranges, bent-pipe telemetry throughput at various phases of a booster mission, such as during vehicle separation, booster evasive maneuvers, and depletion burns.
