- Description
- THE FOLLOWING IS PROVIDED TO ALL PROPOSECTIVE RESPONDERS TO THIS RFI NNC13ZMX001L FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. 1) NASA is actively soliciting responses from all parties interested. NASA will utilize these responses to enhance future cargo mission planning for the Space Launch System (SLS) Program. The current manifest does not have a cargo flight until 2029; however, NASA is exploring ideas for early capability as well as planning for long term cargo capability. 2) Adaption of existing Payload Fairings interface definition:The 5 meter fairing attachment is made at the aft ring a payload adapter, that is attached to the forward skirt of the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS). NASA is looking for the interface recommendations with regards to this interface. 3) Adaption of existing Payload Fairings structural capabilities for the SLS ICPS forward interface: NASA is interested in the load the fairing reacts on the adapter at this interface. NASA will use whatever information that is available to affect the future planning both on the fairing and the adapter. 4) Interface definition of the 8.4 fairing: The figures in the RFI are notional and NASA is looking for recommendations by the commercial sector on the best way to interface the fairing to the base of the Launch Vehicle Stage Adapter (LVSA). 5) Engineering Cost Estimate (ECE) for each line Item:NASA is asking for an ECE for each sub-item called out in the ECE portion of sections 3-5. Thus in sections 3.7, 4.7, and 5.7 we are requesting ECE's for items (a) through (f), respectively. NASA welcomes whatever input they choose to provide. 6) SLS launch operations and process flow: Although NASA currently has notional processing flows, NASA is looking for recommendations from the commercial sector to aid in our future planning of encapsulation and launch vehicle integration.
