RTO Dynamic Framework for Space Based Solar Power
Published
Description
The Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking to establish an RTO Dynamic Framework to support the delivery of a space-based solar power programme. This is in a preliminary the exploration phase and is anticipated to be a multi-million-pound endeavour. The exact value is not yet known, hence why we have not provided an estimate as part of this PIN. Lot 1: Programme and Engineering Management As a research and technology organisation (RTO), the Satellite Applications Catapult is planning to let an RTO Dynamic Framework (DF) for the purpose of supporting a space-based solar power programme. The initial term of the DF is intended to be 3 years with options to extend built in. The DF is intended to be structured into three lots: 1) Programme and Engineering Management, 2) Development and Manufacturing and 3) Spacecraft and Mission Engineering. The intention is that every 6 months the DF will be reopened for new submissions, allowing for new entrants to the marketplace to join. At this time existing DF suppliers will have the opportunity to refresh their rate cards and background IP declaration but will otherwise require no further action to remain on the DF. The terms and conditions of the DF are being appropriately defined around the technical readiness levels of the expected activities to be undertaken. Lot 1 - Programme & Engineering Management: Project & programme management, Systems Engineering, Engineering & Design Management and Digital Design Management. Additional information: Additional background information is provided in the downloadable document “SBSP RTO DF Supplier Presentation” where you will find additional detail on what we are trying to achieve and how you can register your interest. If you are having issues locating this document, please contact procurement@sa.catapult.org.uk to request a copy.

The terms and conditions of the DF are being appropriately defined around the technical readiness levels of the expected activities to be undertaken. Lot 3 Spacecraft & mission engineering: Mission design & analysis (space & ground segment), Propulsion design, manufacture & testing, Spacecraft design & construction, Spacecraft verification & validation and Mission launch services. Additional information: Additional background information is provided in the downloadable document “SBSP RTO DF Supplier Presentation” where you will find additional detail on what we are trying to achieve and how you can register your interest.

The terms and conditions of the DF are being appropriately defined around the technical readiness levels of the expected activities to be undertaken. Lot 2 Technology Development & Manufacturing. Suppliers in Lot 2 will be expected to perform research and development and manufacturing tasks, including integrated engineering design (mechanical, electrical, software), simulation (e.g. finite element analysis, multiphysics simulation) and testing (e.g. validation and verification). Manufacturing tasks can include both the manufacturing of specific items as well as designing manufacturing processes and facilities. The technologies involved are those at the core of SBSP: Concentrator photovoltaics: chip development, power electronics, concentrator optics, systems integration; Wireless power transmission: antenna and rectenna, RF systems, power systems ground infrastructure; and Robotic assembly and servicing, including hardware and software.
