Notice Title
Supply of hardware as part of The OU spaceflight instrument and planetary science research
Notice Description
The Open University is procuring specialist hardware from a third party provider.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Phase 1: A contract to procure various models of combined visible-infrared detectors to: 1) perform radiation testing 2) characterise its performance in the laboratory. Phase 2: Subject to successful outcomes from Phase 1, a subsequent contract for the procurement of flight-quality devices for inclusion on final I-MIM mission instrument.
Procurement Information
Based on the use requirement of the final product, The OU requires a space-qualified combined visible-infrared detector for delivery within the funded timeframe of the project. Due to the time constraints of the project only existing "off the shelf" technology is required, any products still within the development phase or where a custom build would be required, will not be suitable. The combined visible-infrared detector is required for a specific instrument which is for an established space-flight application. The following technical specifications (arising from the existing instrument optical design) are critical requirements: Pixel pitch: 18 um Pixel format: 2k x 1k and stitchable design Spectral range: covering less than 400nm up to 2.5 micron (i.e. UV/visible to IR in one package). The suppliers considered, using publicly available information, in the assessment includes the major detector suppliers that the European Space Agency are currently working with to develop infrared detector technology. Technical data sheets from all current European Space Agency (ESA) infrared detector technology suppliers were reviewed and assessed against the above requirements. The Chroma-D hardware available from Teledyne UK Limited were the only products which met all critical requirements.
