Call for Proposals
The 2009-2010 HASP Call For Proposals was released on October 1, 2009.
The current copy of the CFP is available below.
Please notice that the due date is December 18, 2009.
Teams preparing a HASP proposal/payload are advised to
download and
read the HASP
Student Payload Interface Manual as well as CSBF website postings at
http://www.csbf.nasa.gov/convdocs.html particularly the FY07 User's
Handbook. Also of use are the Gondola Design documents at
http://www.csbf.nasa.gov/gondoladocs.html.
Student Payload Interface
There are two classes of payload
seats available to students on HASP. The more numerous "small
payload class are generally used for smaller experiments or testing of satellite
prototypes. The "large" payload class is useful for complex, large
geometry or heavy experiments. The detailed compatibility for each payload
class is given below.
| Small Student Payloads: |
8 |
| Total number of Positions available |
3 kg (6.6 lbs) |
| Maximum Weight: |
15 cm x 15 cm (~6"x6") |
| Maximum Footprint (must include mounting
structure): |
30 cm (~12") |
| Maximum Height (may need to be negotiated with
neighbor payloads): |
29-33 VDC |
| Supplied Voltage: |
0.5 Amps @ 30 VDC |
| Available Current: |
1200 bps |
| Maximum serial downlink (bitstream): |
2 bytes per command |
| Serial interface: |
1200 baud, RS232 protocol, DB9 connector |
| Analog downlink: |
two channels in range 0 to 5 VDC |
| Discrete commands: |
Power On, Power Off |
| Analog & discrete interface |
EDAC 516-020 |
| |
|
| Large Student Payloads: |
4 |
| Total number of Positions available |
20 kg (44 lbs) |
| Maximum Weight: |
38 cm x 30 cm (~15"x12") |
| Maximum Footprint (must include mounting
structure): |
30 cm (~12") |
| Maximum Height (may need to be negotiated with
neighbor payloads): |
29-33 VDC |
| Supplied Voltage: |
2.5 Amps @ 30 VDC |
| Available Current: |
4800 bps |
| Maximum serial downlink (bitstream): |
2 bytes per command |
| Serial interface: |
4800 baud, RS232 protocol, DB9 connector |
| Analog downlink: |
two channels in range 0 to 5 VDC |
| Discrete commands: |
Power On, Power Off |
| (It may
also be possible to negotiate up to 4 additional command pairs; i.e. F1
on, F1 off) |
| Analog & discrete interface |
EDAC 516-020 |
|
Each student team accepted for flight on a
HASP mission will be shipped either a "small" or "large" payload
mounting plate (see figure). each plate is constructed of
6 mm thick PVC with a "keep out" area marked around the
parameter and holes in each corner for bolting the plate to
HASP. Within the allowed region of the plate the payload can be
mounted and wired as necessary. Also provided on the plate
are DB9 and EDAC 516 connectors with wiring pigtails to provide
the telemetry, power & commanding interface. Details
about the mounting plate and electrical interface can be found
in the
HASP
Student Payload Interface Manual. |

Deliverables
If your payload is accepted, your seat on the next HASP
flight is contingent on providing documentation describing your payload as well
as your plans for integration and flight. In addition, application for the
future HASP flight will be contingent on delivery of a Final Flight Science
Report. These documents are described below and templates are available as
indicated.
HASP Payload Specification and Integration Plan: This
document provides technical details on the final flight configuration of the
payload including measured weights, measured current draw (@30 VDC), downlink
data format and rate, uplink commands, analog output usage, discrete command
usage, and dimensioned mechanical drawings. In addition, your plans for
integration with with HASP should be detailed including, at least, all test
procedures and test procedure validation results, requested test equipment,
schedule and personnel participating in integration.
(Template)
HASP Payload Integration Certification: At integration all interfaces will be documented and
validated, correct operation of the payload will be verified and any issues
identified will be detailed. This certification document will be handled
by HASP management during integration. A sample form, customized for your
payload, will be sent to you following receipt of your Payload Specification &
Integration Plan. Note that you will not be able to
fly until this certification is complete. (Template)
HASP Flight Operation Plan: This document will detail
procedures for flightline setup, pre-launch checkout, flight operations, error
recovery, safeing and payload recovery including a timeline showing specific
events relative to the launch at T=0 and identifying personnel participating in
flight operations. Note that any operations requested to be performed by
HASP flight personnel other than the power-up ~one hour prior to launch (T - 1
hr) and power down prior to terminate must be specified in this document. (Template)
Final Flight/Science Report: A final
report on the results from the flight of your payload is due by the end of the
calendar year. This report should include an assessment of the payload
performance, problems encountered, lessons learned as well as science /
technical results from the flight.
