• IGF::CT::IGF MISSION OPERATIONS AND INTEGRATION (MO&I) CONTRACT. THIS CONTRACT INVOLVES OPERATIONS SUPPORT FOR ALL PHASES OF FLIGHT INCLUDING MISSION PREPARATION, CREW AND FLIGHT CONTROLLER TRAINING, AND REAL-TIME OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR SPACEFLIGHT OPERATIONS SUPPORT. THE CORE SERVICES PORTION OF THE CONTRACT ESTABLISHES REQUIREMENTS FOR PAYLOAD OPERATIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) PROGRAM, WHILE TASK ORDERS ISSUED UNDER THE INDEFINITE DELIVERY INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ) COMPONENT WILL PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY TO ADD OPERATIONS SUPPORT FOR OTHER PROGRAM OR PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. — $371.5M
• MARSHALL OPERATIONS SYSTEMS, SERVICES, AND INTEGRATION II (MOSSI II) — $253.6M
• IGF::OT::IGF LAUNCH VEHICLE/STAGES ADAPTER — $205.5M
• IGF::OT::IGF ENGINEERING AND INTEGRATION WORK FOR MATERIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH RACK (MSRR), MICROGRAVITY SCIENCE GLOVEBOX (MSG) AND INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION SERVIR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND VISUALIZATION SYSTEM (ISERV) THIS DELIVERY ORDER COVERS WORK FOR MSFC MANAGED FACILITIES AND PAYLOADS. THE FACILITIES CONSIST OF THE MICROGRAVITY SCIENCES GLOVEBOX (MSG) AND THE MATERIALS SCIENCE RESEARCH RACK 1 (MSRR-1). THE PAYLOADS CONSIST OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) SERVIR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND VISUALIZATION (ISERV) PATHFINDER, WHICH IS CURRENTLY OPERATING IN THE WINDOW OBSERVATIONAL RESEARCH FACILITY (WORF). THE MICROGRAVITY SCIENCE GLOVEBOX (MSG), LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES (U.S.) DESTINY LABORATORY MODULE, ENABLES SCIENTISTS FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES TO PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY IN THE ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION OF EXPERIMENTS IN SPACE WITH MUCH THE SAME DEGREE OF INVOLVEMENT THEY HAVE IN THEIR OWN RESEARCH LABORATORIES. DEVELOPED BY THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY (ESA) AND MANAGED BY THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION S (NASA'S) MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (MSFC). THE MSG WAS LAUNCHED ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOR, STS-111, ISS FLIGHT UF2, IN JUNE 2002. THIS FACILITY OFFERS AN ENCLOSED 255-LITER (9 CUBIC FOOT) WORK AREA ACCESSIBLE TO THE CREW THROUGH GLOVE PORTS AND TO GROUND-BASED SCIENTISTS THROUGH REAL-TIME DATA LINKS AND VIDEO. BECAUSE THE WORK AREA IS SEALED AND HELD AT A NEGATIVE PRESSURE, THE CREW CAN MANIPULATE EXPERIMENT HARDWARE AND SAMPLES WITHOUT THE DANGER OF SMALL PARTS, PARTICULATES, FLUIDS, OR GASSES ESCAPING INTO THE OPEN LABORATORY MODULE. THE MATERIALS SCIENCE RESEARCH RACK (MSRR) LAUNCHED ABOARD SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS ON STS -128 ON AUGUST 28, 2009. MSRR ALLOWS FOR STUDY OF A VARIETY OF MATERIALS INCLUDING METALS, CERAMICS, SEMICONDUCTOR CRYSTALS AND GLASS ABOARD THE ISS. MSRR IS HOUSED IN THE U.S. DESTINY LABORATORY MODULE. MATERIALS SCIENCE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MATERIALS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE HERE ON EARTH. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESEARCH RACK WAS A COOPERATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE MARSHALL CENTER AND THE EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY. THE MATERIALS BEING STUDIED ARE FLOWN AND PROCESSED IN SAMPLE CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLIES (SCAS). DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SCAS IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. THE ISERV PATHFINDER LAUNCHED ON JULY 21, 2012 ABOARD HTV-3. THE ISERV SUB-RACK PAYLOAD IS AN EARTH OBSERVING HIGH-RESOLUTION SYSTEM BASED PRIMARILY ON MODIFIED COMMERCIAL OFF-THE-SHELF (COTS) COMPONENTS, WHICH WERE DEVELOPED BY THE NASA-SERVIR PROJECT FOR OPERATION IN THE WORF RACK. THE NASA-SERVIR PROJECT SUPPORTS HUMANITARIAN AID AND DISASTER RESPONSE FOR DEVELOPING NATIONS BY PROVIDING EARTH SCIENCE INFORMATION AND DECISION SUPPORT DATA PRODUCTS. CURRENTLY, SERVIR DOES NOT OWN/CONTROL ANY EARTH OBSERVATION RESOURCES AND MUST TASK COMMERCIAL AND PUBLIC ASSETS FOR DATA ACQUISITION RESULTING IN DELAYS AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES. THE ISERV PAYLOAD IS THE FIRST STEP IN MITIGATING THIS SITUATION. ISERV IS A PATHFINDER PAYLOAD CHARACTERIZED AS A DEVELOPMENTAL FLIGHT TEST WITH THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH AN ISS-BASED REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM. THE EXPERIENCE GAINED WITH ISERV WILL FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN OPERATIONAL EXTERNALLY MOUNTED IMAGING SYSTEM ABOARD THE ISS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF THE ISERV PATHFINDER PAYLOAD INCLUDE: A. DEVELOPMENT OF GENERAL TASKING, UTILIZATION, GROUND COMMANDING, DATA ACQUISITION, AND PROCESSING EXPERIENCE. B. DEVELOPMENT OF IMAGE ACQUISITION, PROCESSING, AND ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES. C. DEVELOPMENT OF FULL COMMANDING, ACQUISITION, AND PROCESSING OPERATIONS CAPABILITIES FOR ISERV HUMANITARIAN AID AND DISASTER MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. D. INFORMING THE DEFINITION OF REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE FOR A POTENTIAL EXTERNALLY MOUNTED ISERV IMAGING SYSTEM. E. APPLICATION OF ACQUIRED IMAGES FOR SERVIR PURPOSES. — $33.0M
