Polar Rover for Observation, Mapping, and In-Situ Exploration (PROMISE) Mission

Description

Refurbishment, qualification, and delivery of a scientific radiation measurement instrument to support lunar surface exploration activities associated with the Polar Rover for Observation, Mapping, and In-Situ Exploration (PROMISE) mission. Efforts include engineering analysis, environmental testing, systems integration support, mission operations support, and scientific data analysis associated with the collection and interpretation of radiation measurements on the lunar surface. Some of the efforts require the development and refinement of specialized software tools, data processing techniques, and operational methodologies to support instrument integration, data collection, and analysis throughout the mission lifecycle. The instrument Principal Investigator (PI) and team must have extensive experience in the design, development, testing, operation, and scientific analysis of spaceflight radiation instruments supporting planetary exploration missions. Team members shall work on the original design, fabrication, qualification, and operation of the instrument and have supported the collection and analysis of scientific data for an extended operational period. The current version of the instrument is based on their original design and flight hardware and software development. Additionally, the team has developed specialized software programs, operational processes, and analytical algorithms necessary to support instrument performance assessment, data processing, and scientific interpretation. The team will provide technical support for instrument refurbishment, flight qualification, integration, mission operations, and scientific investigations in support of PROMISE mission objectives.
