Reusable Booster Risk Reduction Industry Day

The Air Force is pursuing the Reusable Booster System (RBS) concept to address future spacelift requirements, recognizing the need for further research and development in certain critical areas. To support this, the Air Force plans to conduct RBS Risk Reduction Studies aimed at exploring the design space and identifying practical mitigations related to these technical challenges. An Industry Day event is scheduled to facilitate engagement with interested parties, featuring an overview briefing on May 11, 2010, at the Gordon Conference Center, Los Angeles AFB, followed by one-on-one sessions with the RBS Risk Reduction Study Program team on May 12, 2010. Preregistration by April 29, 2010, is required to participate. This contract opportunity is managed by the Department of Defense through the FA8823 Sustainment Mcpnt Ssc/pkl office located at Peterson AFB, Colorado. Key contacts for the event include Keesha Griffin and Program Manager Kenneth R. Hampsten, who can be reached for additional information. The solicitation is identified by number 10-37 and is categorized under NAICS code 541712. The effort is aligned with the AFRL Pathfinder Industry Day, providing a platform for industry stakeholders to collaborate on advancing the RBS technology and addressing technical risks associated with its development.
