Summary

The opportunity involves the design, development, and fabrication of the X-ray Irradiance Sensor (XRIS) as part of the Space weather Observations at Lagrange 1 (SOL) initiative, a collaborative effort between NASA and NOAA. This project aims to enhance the monitoring of solar activity, particularly solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), which can significantly impact Earth's ionosphere and critical infrastructure such as satellite communications and navigation systems. Contractors with expertise in aerospace engineering, sensor technology, and space mission operations are encouraged to bid on this opportunity, as the contract will require the integration, testing, calibration, and operational support of the XRIS instruments. The successful contractor will be responsible for delivering one flight and one spare XRIS instrument, ensuring continuity in space weather observations essential for national safety and operational readiness.
