  SOLAR ULTRAVIOLET IMAGER (SUVI) INSTRUMENT. THIS CONTRACT IS FOR THE DESIGN, ANALYZE, DEVELOP, FABRICATE, INTEGRATE, TEST, EVALUATE AND SUPPORT LAUNCH OF THE SOLAR ULTRAVIOLET IMAGER (SUVI) INSTRUMENT, SUPPLY AND MAINTAIN THE INSTRUMENT GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (GSE), AND SUPPORT THE SATELLITE OPERATIONS CONTROL CENTER (SOCC). THE SUVI IS CLASSIFIED AS A NON-PRIMARY INSTRUMENT ON THE GOES-R SATELLITE AND HAS A RISK CLASSIFICATION OF B. THE SUVI INSTRUMENT PROVIDES A BROADBAND IMAGING IN THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET WAVELENGTH RANGE TO MONITOR THE ENTIRE DYNAMIC RANGE OF SOLAR FEATURES, FROM CORONAL HOLES TO FLARES, AS WELL AS THE ESTIMATE OF TEMPERATURE AND EMISSION MEASURE. THESE DATA ARE USED FOR GEOMAGNETIC STORM FORECASTS AND FORECASTS OF SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE EVENTS RELATED TO FLARES. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE THE PERSONNEL, MATERIALS, FACILITIES AND OTHER RESOURCES TO DESIGN, DEVELOP, DELIVER AND SUPPORT UNDER THE BASIC CONTRACT: A) PARTS AND MATERIALS FOR 4 FLIGHT MODELS B) ONE SUVI FLIGHT MODEL (FM) C) THREE SETS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TEST EQUIPMENT (ESTE) D) TWO SUVI EMULATORS (SUVIES) E) TWO FLIGHT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS (FSDES) F) ONE GROUND PROCESSING DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (GPDS) G) SPARES FOR THE FOUR FMS H) ALL ADDITIONAL SUVI MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (MGSE AND EGSE) CALLED OUT ELSEWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT I) ALL ITEMS AND DOCUMENTS SPECIFIED IN ALL CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

  TRACE PROVIDES THE SHARPEST IMAGES OF THE SOLAR CORONA EVER OBTAINED - AND NO MISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY FORESEEN TO EXCEED ITS 1.2 ARCSEC RECORD. WHEN THE MISSION IS TERMINATED (LIKELY IN EARLY 2009 - SHORTLY AFTER THE LAUNCH OF SDO) THIS UNIQUE DATA SET WILL SPAN A FULL SOLAR CYCLE. THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS FUNDING FOR A TRACE RESIDENT ARCHIVE (RA) - WHICH WILL BE A HIGHLY VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR CASE STUDIES AND FOR EXTENSIVE STATISTICAL SURVEYS - SPANNING A VARIETY OF TOPICS RELEVANT TO HELIOPHYSICS - FROM FLARES AND CMES TO WAVE PROPATION PHYSICS - AND FROM SPOT EVOLUTION TO CORONAL LOOP DYNAMICS. THE TRACE RA - COMPLIANT WITH THE HELIOPHYSICS SCIENCE DATA MANAGEMENT POLICY / 1) WILL SERVE CALIBRATED (OR - IF DESIRED - LEVEL-0) DATA - DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THE VIRTUAL SOLAR OBSERVATORY / 2) WILL PROVIDE EXPERTISE IN THE ACCESS / USE / AND CALIBRATION OF THE OBSERVATIONS / AND 3) WILL COMPLETE THE DOCUMENTATION OF STANDARD SOLARSOFT IDL ANALYSIS SOFTWARE - ALL GUIDED BY ADVICE FROM THE USER COMMUNITY. THE APPRX 30TB TRACE RA WILL BE MAINTAINED IN A COST-EFFECTIVE WAY PARALLEL TO THE HINODE ARCHIVE AT LMSAL - AND A COPY AT GSFC WILL SERVE DATA THROUGH THE VSO INTERFACE. THIS ALLOWS THE ENTIRE ARCHIVE TO REMAIN ON LINE - ENSURING RESPONSE TO DATA REQUESTS GENERALLY WITHIN MINUTES. WE WILL ALSO EMBED THE INFORMATION FROM THE TRACE OPERATIONS PLANS AND A SUBSTANTIAL SAMPLE OF CONTENTS META-DATA ON OBSERVED EVENTS INTO THE HELIO-INFORMATICS KNOWLEDGE BASE. WE DO THIS SO THAT TRACE DATA (TOGETHER WITH DATA ON SIMILAR EVENTS OBSERVED BY SDO / HINODE / AND OTHER MISSIONS) CAN READILY BE FOUND BY SEARCHING FOR - E.G. FLARES / ACTIVE REGIONS / CORONAL HOLES / ETC. THIS WILL MAKE THE ARCHIVE USER-FRIENDLY TO SCIENTISTS FROM ALL HELIOPHYSICS SUBDISCIPLINES. BASED ON RECENT ARCHIVE USE - WE SCALED THE SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO EXPORT UP TO 2 MILLION IMAGES PER YEAR.
