• Description:
• Tenders are invited for CHIME Platform Electrical GSE 1 (SATEGSE-1) The Copernicus programme is an evolution of the previous Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) Programme, an Earth monitoring initiative led by the European Union (EU) and carried out in partnership with the EU Member States and the European Space Agency (ESA). Emerging and urgent needs for new types of observations have been consolidated in a distinct set of requirements which are addressed by six new Copernicus Sentinel missions, formerly known as “High Priority Candidate Missions” (HPCM). ESA has awarded six contracts covering the implementation of the Phase B2, C/D,E1 for each of the six Copernicus missions, encompassing the procurement of both the prototype (instrument(s) and spacecraft), funded by the ESA Member States under the CSC-4 Programme, and the recurrent satellites, funded by the EU under the future MFF 2021-2027, where the recurrent satellites are offered at the same time as the prototype and are implemented as contractual options in a single contract. CHIME Mission contract was awarded to Thales Alenia Space (Fr), as prime contractor for the procurement of the CHIME satellites. The main objective of the CHIME Mission is to complement the existing family of Copernicus satellites observation capabilities with an imaging spectroscopy observational capability for services supporting the improved management of natural resources and related policies. The CHIME Mission primary objective is to provide timely and accurate monitoring of land and coastal/inland water bodies in the spectral range of SWIR and VNIR. These measurements will allow raw material - and sustainable agricultural management with a focus on soil properties, mineral resources and agricultural services, including food security and biodiversity. In the frame of CHIME, Thales Alenia Space France will release an Invitation To Tender for the procurement of the following Electrical Ground Support Equipment: • Umbilical SCOE to power and to control the spacecraft and to monitor the information-s coming from the Spacecraft during integration and test phase and during launch campaign • Main Power Distribution Unit to distribute the power supply to the different EGSE. • Solar Array Simulator SCOE to simulate the Solar Array during the Spacecraft integration and test phase This procurement will be conducted in line with the “ESA Best Practices for the Selection of Subcontractors by Prime Contractors in the frame of ESA-s Major Procurements” (reference ESA BEST PRACTICES IPC(2012)65,rev.2) as modified for the purpose of the Copernicus programme.Read more
