This DRAFT document is available at the following NPOESS FTP website: ftp://ftp.ipo.noaa.gov. Please call Mr. Sjoberg or Mr. Naegeli for ftp site password. The file folder is called P3I Announcement of Opportunity. All parties are invited to review the DRAFT document and to provide comments to the NPOESS IPO. Comments are desired on or before 14 JAN 2005. Comments should be written in Microsoft Word format and should be uploaded into the AO Comments folder of the ftp site. Please password-protect your comments file. An additional copy of your comments should be emailed along with your password to Mr Sjoberg or Mr Naegeli to ensure redundancy. The IPO will consider creating a file on the ftp site with substantive comments and answers to frequently asked questions. If this occurs, comments and questions/answers will be provided without reference to the originator. The purpose of requesting comments on the DRAFT document is to help the Government craft a document and implement an initiative that best meets the needs of the Government and the taxpayer. Comments are sought on all parts of the DRAFT Announcement of Opportunity (including the technical, programmatic, business, and legal arrangements) and all comments will be considered as the final Announcement of Opportunity is prepared. Note that this is only a request for information on the DRAFT NPOESS P3I Announcement of Opportunity; this is not an actual Announcement or solicitation. Accordingly, no P3I submissions are being sought at this time. The NPOESS IPO will not pay for any party's efforts in responding to this request for information, but will appreciate comments from any interested party. In addition to interested academic, science, and industry parties, the Defense Department's Space Experiments Review Board (SERB) and NASA's New Millennium are invited to provide comments on the DRAFT Announcement of Opportunity in response to this request for information. BACKGROUND: The purpose of P3I is to make unused space on NPOESS satellites available to Government, academic, science, and industry parties on a non-interference basis (the NPOESS mission is of paramount importance, and a P3I payload must not interfere with the NPOESS mission) when potential P3I payloads help meet NPOESS needs, help meet other Government needs, or provide benefit to science. The P3I initiative provides the potential for testing advanced technology in earth orbit and validating advanced instruments in space and cross-calibrating them with existing instruments. The NPOESS IPO anticipates that any P3I payload provider will bear all costs of designing and building its payload, as well as all costs of integrating its payload onto a NPOESS satellite and data routing or distribution beyond the NPOESS portal, with the NPOESS IPO providing only satellite space, power, and data transfer.
