Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

NASA is offering the opportunity to extend the operations of the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) for use in educational and research activities by a government agency or non-profit organization. The satellite is permanently positioned at 105.2 degrees West longitude with an inclination of 4.6 degrees and has a 20/30 GHz payload that can support limited daily use for connecting spot beam locations. Attitude control is expected to function with daily variations for the next two years, although the spacecraft and associated ground systems are beyond their intended service life, so no service warranties are provided. Interested users must comply with FCC experimental license requirements and cover all operating costs for both the satellite and ground stations. Ultra small aperture terminals may be arranged through the Ohio Consortium for Advanced Communication Technology (OCACT). Responses to this solicitation must be submitted by February 6, 2004, with all operating costs assumed through March 20, 2004. For further details or inquiries, prospective participants are encouraged to contact the specified point of contact or consult the provided online resources related to the ACTS program.

Full Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announces willingness to extend operations of the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) for educational and research purposes to a government agency or non-profit organization. The spacecraft is permanently retired at 105.2 degrees West longitude with inclination currently at 4.6 degrees. Limited daily use of the 20/30 GHz payload for connecting spot beam locations is feasible. Spacecraft attitude control with diurnal variations is expected to be available for two years. No warranties of service are stated or implied since spacecraft and ground systems are well beyond intended service life. Ultra small aperture terminals can be made available by arrangement with the Ohio Consortium for Advanced Communication Technology (OCACT). Users must comply with existing FCC experimental license restrictions as well as assume all operating costs for satellite and ground stations by March 20, 2004. Responses to this announcement are required to the POC by February 6, 2004 in order to be considered by NASA. Additional information can be obtained by contacting the POC.
