“Attached Synopsis of Original Announcement”
NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for systems requirements and a systems design of a logistics resupply service to the International Space Station (ISS). This in support of the Alternate Access to Station (AAS) element of the Second Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle Program. This effort is approximately one year in length to assess a logistics resupply service concept definition to ISS. This service concept and service plan will be part of a process used by NASA to potentially procure a commercial service for alternate access to station. The ISS Logistics Resupply Service concept definition should include a systems design and operations concept capable of transporting cargo from the surface of the Earth to the ISS requiring a launch vehicle and an orbital transfer vehicle with cargo carrying capability. It is desirable but not mandatory that the flight system be capable of returning cargo, intact, from the ISS to Earth.
