Description:
Tenders are invited for Truths Phase B2 - Optics Scrambler. TRUTHS (Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio- Studies) is an Element of the European Earth Watch Programme approved at 178th PB-EO (ESA/PB-EO(2019)31) for submission at CM19+ as a new Element, called “TRUTHS”. TRUTHS (Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio- Studies - is an operational climate mission, aiming to enhance by an order-of-magnitude our ability to estimate the Earth radiation budget through direct measurements and to establish a ‘metrology laboratory in space- to create a fiducial (International System of units - SI traceable) reference data set to cross-calibrate other sensors and improve the quality of their measurements. The TRUTHS Mission aims at measuring the incoming & outgoing energy from the climate system, including the spectral fingerprint needed to observationally attribute climate processes, with an accuracy needed to detect climate trends in the shortest possible time. The TRUTHS Mission has been authorised as part of the European Earth Watch Programme [ESA/PB-EO(2022)18 rev1] to start its Phase B2/Advance C implementation while authorisation to implement Phase C/D/E1 is subject to the availability of funding and authorisation at C-MiN 2025. Airbus Defence and Space has been selected by ESA as the Prime Contractor for Phase B2 with a mandatory option for Advance C. In this framework, Airbus Defence and Space Ltd will release an Invitation To Tender for the procurement of the Scrambler for the TRUTHS Phase B2. Supplier is requested to build a number of crystalline quartz scramblers as defined by the customer to the provided dimensions, in a dual Babinet configuration using adhesive methods, to test for depolarisation ratio, transmitted wavefront errors, spatial uniformity, before and after the operational space environment (i.e. thermo-mechanical and radiation) to reach TRL6. Particular focus shall be put on adhesive methods with respect to their accuracy and robustness. The Invitation To Tender will be addressed to economic operators (including those deemed to act as Subcontractors) whose registered office is established in such Member and Associated States which, by the time of the Contract award decision, will be a participating State in the ESA TRUTHS Mission.
