This NASA Request For Information is seeking information on spacecraft system concepts, including innovative approaches, to be combined with other mission elements to facilitate the study and evolution of feasible overall mission architecture concepts for the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) mission. Concepts that accommodate a partial or full complement of instrument payloads per each spacecraft system will be considered. Consideration will also be given to planned development approaches that deviate from the referenced processes. Information is also sought regarding opportunities for public-private and other partnerships to enable successful development of systems within cost and schedule constraints. Responses should recognize that implementing a system that stays within the allocated budget is an essential programmatic requirement for the U.S. Government. Specifically, three types of responses are sought: 1.Response Option 1: Concepts for spacecraft designs and plans for development of the spacecraft that include integration and test with the payload, through launch and commissioning; Response Option 2: Concepts for hosting a partial or full complement of instrument payloads within the architecture of a current or future system; Response Option 3: Concepts for public-private or other partnership options to develop systems to meet mission objectives. This Request for Information (RFI) is open to all types of organizations, including U.S. industry, universities, nonprofit organizations, NASA Centers, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, other U. S. Government agencies, and international organizations.
