**Lunar Habitat Mockup**

**Statement of Work\
**

**Overview:**

The contractor shall fabricate a man-rated, electrically conductive
habitat mockup for NASA Johnson Space Center. The mockup will be used to
evaluate candidate RF Wireless and RFID technology for use on ISS or
other Constellation modules.

**Mockup Requirements:**

1.  The mockup shall consist of a closed cylinder, as shown in Figure 1.

2.  The walls of the cylinder shall be made with a conductive material.

3.  The end caps of the cylinder shall have doors, allowing personnel to
    enter and setup equipment. Dimensions are TBD.

4.  The mockup shall be constructed with circular apertures (windows)
    that have removable conductive covering. The number, size and
    placement of the windows is TBD.

5.  The inner wall shall have pockets capable of holding up to 20 lbs.
    of equipment. The number, size and placement of the pockets is TBD.

6.  The inner wall shall have numerous attachment points made from
    either Velcro or hooks, depending upon the need. The number, size
    and placement of the attachments is TBD.

7.  The mockup shall contain a nonconductive flooring.

8.  The circular inner wall shall have the option to attach conductive
    fabric in order to create a rectangular inner wall, as shown in
    Figure 2.

9.  The mockup shall be constructed with a tapered end, as shown in
    Figure 3.

10. The mockup shall be constructed such that when it is disassembled
    each piece will be able to fit through an area of 5 ft. 9 in. by 7
    ft.

11. The mockup shall have the option to attach a wall along the circular
    cross-section. The wall shall be made of conductive fabric. The
    number, size and placement of the attachments is TBD.

12. The mockup will sit on a cradle that lifts the module a minimum of
    12 inches off of the floor.

13. The support structure shall be safe for working personnel.

14. The mockup shall be constructed and assembled by the contractor.

15. The mockup shall have adequate lighting and air ventilation.

16. The habitat module will be a stand alone unit (i.e. not tied to the
    surrounding building)

17. Delivery date no later than September 15, 2008.

**Construction and Materials:**

1.  The conductive fabric shall be strong enough to hold up to 20 lbs.
    of equipment

2.  The conductivity of the material is TBD.

3.  Widows shall be constructed with a clear, nonconductive material.

**RFI Response Content Instructions:**

1.  At a minimum the RFI response should include the following:

a.  Provide a cost and delivery estimate to complete the habitable
    mockup.

b.  Provide a summary of relevant history and experience related to the
    construction of habitable mockups.

c.  Provide all other information that your company considers pertinent
    to this activity.

d.  Provide information demonstrating that the safety and health plan
    adheres to NASA standards.

e.  Identify potential difficulties in completed the mockup.
