Purchase of Optical Array Probe 1D2DX

The NASA Glenn Research Center is seeking to purchase an Optical Array Probe 1D2DX. The probe will be used to measure the size of drops in the icing cloud, and it must be compatible with the M300 data system. The contractor will be responsible for designing, fabricating, and testing the probe, as well as providing training and guidance on its use. The probe must be capable of measuring drop sizes from 15 µm to at least 450 µm and must have deice capabilities. Some key features of the probe include: • A 1D data stream and a 2D image data stream • Compatibility with the M300 data system • Deice capabilities with a full heat front dome • A spinning disk per order • 220VAC instrument and deice power • A sapphire window modification • A pigtail interface on the canister • A shipping and storage case • A new canister with a fully heated dome
