- Description
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Goddard Space FlightCenter (GSFC) has a requirement for the continuation of the Global PrecipitationMeasurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) instrument Number One. The GMI Instrument is a13 Channel radiometer whose core science measures the Earths atmospheric moisture. The13 science channels cover 10.65 GHz through 183 GHz in the microwave spectrum. In orderto fulfill this requirement, NASA/GSFC is utilizing American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (ARRA) funds to provide for key elements of the GMI Mission through September 5, 2009through June 5, 2010. The GMI Instrument will provide improved measurements of rainfall for research intoclimatology by allowing scientist and weather professional to better predict weatherassessments not only for the United States and its Territories a, but will also providefor Global weather assessments. The GMI mission is a universal tool that will be used byall nations to better understand and predict weather conditions and to plan for severeweather conditions through the globe.The performance elements that will be covered under the American Recovery andReinvestment Act of 2009 include the satisfactory performance of the Instrument CardAssembly, the near field Antenna Range, preparing the antenna field range measurements,release of all drawings, radio frequency receives to be built and tested, fabricate andcertify all electrical ground equipment, build a fully qualified flight reflectordeployment assembly, build and certify the main and Cold sky reflectors, and build allmain structure components and to proceed with integration. Ball Aerospace & TechnologyCorporation is performing these key elements under the existing contract that awarded onMarch 22, 2005 in a competitive procurement. Currently Ball Aerospace is the onlycorporation currently capable of meeting NASA/GSFC spacecraft requirements for the GPMMission.
