AI Contract Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking information from potential partners to support the SOLAR-B mission under the Space Weather Next Program by submitting proposals for a Partner Contributed Instrument (PCI) that can be hosted on the observatory at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1). This Request for Information (RFI) is not a solicitation or commitment to award a contract but is intended to gather technical, financial, and programmatic insights from government entities, commercial firms, and non-profits capable of delivering a PCI that aligns with SOLAR-B’s operational goals of ensuring resiliency, continuity, and redundancy in space weather observations. The SOLAR-B mission, slated to follow the SOLAR-A launch in fiscal year 2030, is designed for a five-year operational life with potential for an additional five years of extended service. The selected PCI must complement the primary instruments aboard SOLAR-B, demonstrate a strong Research to Operations (R2O) case, adhere to strict size, weight, and power constraints—specifically no more than 11 watts operational and 5.5 watts survival power—and operate within the spacecraft’s +26 to +34 VDC power supply. The instrument must use approved communication interfaces such as RS-422, LVDS, or SpaceWire with a maximum data rate of 30 kbps, comply with recognized technical standards including ECSS-E-ST-50-12C-rev.1 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-644, and ensure no current returns over chassis ground with >1 Megaohm electrical isolation. All proposed PCI solutions must also meet rigorous radiation hardness, contamination control, safety, and reliability requirements as defined by documents such as GSFC-STD-8008, NASA-STD-8719.24-A, and the SOLAR Project Requirements Documents. Respondents must submit a two-page capability statement, excluding a cover letter, in a single searchable PDF format with a minimum 12-point font, using a specified naming convention and email subject line, by June 21, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, via email to [email hidden]. Responses must include an appendix with business details such as company name, address, DUNS number, CAGE code, point of contact, and current Small Business Administration designations, as well as information on projected costs, business models, required government

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)

Title: Request for Information - Space Weather Next Program - Partner Contributed Instrument (PCI) Capabilities for the Space Weather Observations at L1 to Advance Readiness (SOLAR)-B Mission

Date of Original Posting: May 26th, 2026

RFI Responses Due by: June 21, 2026, 11:59 PM ET

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose of this RFI

This RFI is issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to request information from all sources (including government entities, commercial firms, and non-profit organizations) with the capability to offer a Partner Contributed Instrument (PCI) to be hosted aboard the NOAA Space Weather Next Program's SOLAR-B mission. NOAA may host one PCI that best complements the SOLAR-B mission's primary observations, demonstrates a compelling Research to Operations (R2O) case for advancing space weather observation, adheres to the specified size, weight, and power limits, meets the project schedule, is technically feasible and compatible with the SOLAR-B spacecraft within the specified "do no harm" requirements, and is supported by a robust financial and programmatic commitment from the submitting organization. Organizations that intend to or are likely to provide a PCI are invited to respond to this RFI.

1.2 The NOAA Space Weather Next Program and SOLAR-B Mission Overview

Space weather refers to those conditions in the space environment that may be damaging to technological systems deployed in space or on the ground and to humans in space. The NOAA Space Weather Observations (SWO) office vision is "a space weather ready nation," with a mission to “provide trusted space weather observations to safeguard society." This vision and mission are directly responsive to the legislative mandate of the Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow (PROSWIFT) Act of 2020. Specifically, the PROSWIFT Act mandates that NOAA shall "support competitive, peer-reviewed proposals for [..] monitoring of space weather and its impacts" and shall facilitate "research to operations and operations to research." NOAA is implementing this mission through the SWO Space Weather Next (SW Next) Program with acquisition assistance from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The SW Next Program's goal is to provide critical data to its primary customer, the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) to support its mission of ”safeguarding society with actionable space weather information.” The Space weather Observations at L1 to Advance Readiness (SOLAR) project ensures continuous, high availability, and low latency space weather observations from the first Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L1). These measurements of the space environment and the Sun's outer atmosphere (corona) are critical for accurate space weather forecasts. The SOLAR project maintains observational continuity of real-time solar imagery and solar wind measurements (plasma properties and magnetic field), building upon capabilities from legacy missions like SOHO and DSCOVR, and the follow-on SWFO-L1 (now designated SOLAR-1). The SOLAR-A observatory is planned to launch in fiscal year 2030, to provide an operational overlap and cross-calibration with SOLAR-1 and to ensure continuity and resiliency of these measurements. A PCI for SOLAR-A has already been selected. This RFI concerns the SOLAR-B observatory, which is the second launch of the SOLAR project and will occur a few years after SOLAR-A. SOLAR-B's primary purpose is operational resiliency. It will extend measurement continuity, provide on-orbit redundancy and maximize the longevity of NOAA’s SOLAR observing constellation. SOLAR-B will be designed for five years of operation and will carry propellant for a possible additional five years of extended operations. The PCI for SOLAR-B represents a "next generation" opportunity, building upon the continuity established by SOLAR-A and SOLAR-1, and offering advanced capabilities to further NOAA's research to operations space weather goals.
