Description

The Space Systems Command (SSC) is seeking information on orbit raising solutions for space vehicles to transition from Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) to Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) as quickly as possible. The solutions should be able to take advantage of the schedule flexibility offered by commercially available launch service providers. The SSC is looking for information on technical capabilities, business and contracting information, and other relevant details. • The orbit raising solutions should be able to handle a mass range of 2946 - 6000 kg. • The solutions should provide a description and figures depicting the solution. • The solutions should provide swap characteristics, such as accommodation needs, total system weight, power requirements, and environmental compliance. • The solutions should provide programmatic information, such as anticipated cost, schedule, and manpower requirements. • The solutions should provide information on interfaces, such as mechanical and electrical interfaces.

Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $500,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as it is a request for information and not a solicitation for bids or proposals. However, based on the information provided, it appears that the Space Systems Command is looking for orbit raising solutions that can handle a mass range of 2946 - 6000 kg. The cost of such solutions can vary widely depending on the technology and approach used. A rough estimate for the cost of a single unit could be in the range of $10 million to $50 million, and the total program cost could be in the range of $100 million to $500 million. The budget for the contract would depend on the specific requirements and the number of units purchased.
