Space Systems and Hardware Integration for Novel Experiments (SSHINE)   2

Background
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/RV), is conducting market research to explore approaches providing the required research, engineering, and technical management for performing space technology concept development, analysis, development, integration, experimentation, demonstrations, and evaluation in support of the AFRL/RV mission. This is not a solicitation announcement but a request for information (RFI) to assess market potential. No solicitation documents exist currently. The Government does not have an obligation to pay for information responding to this RFI and will not accept any responses as offers.

Work Details
The scope of work includes providing the required research, engineering, and technical management for performing space technology concept development, analysis, development, integration, experimentation, demonstrations, and evaluation in support of the AFRL/RV mission. It involves cradle-to-grave processes and functions for a range of experimental complexity. The work encompasses various functional areas such as mission and space system development, flight experiment prototyping, assembly, integration, and testing, flight experiment operations, ground system development, and staffing strategy and required area of expertise.

Place of Performance
The contract will be performed at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico.
