PTS Rapid Prototype (RP) Design and Development

Abstract

Rapid prototyping of the PTS Space Segment for two PTS RP payloads and payload and bus command and control (C2) development/upgrades at the operating centers for the Ground Segment. Develop, demonstrate, test, and evaluate PTS hardware/software systems and key system components. Design and develop modular, scalable payloads to support hosted or free-flyer configurations. Includes integration to host vehicle or purchase of a bus for free-flier configuration. Demonstrate prototype payload on-orbit performance. Evaluate PTS concept of operations with user participation and enable potential residual operational capability. Mature and validate user requirements. Support development, risk reduction efforts, and integration of PTS to deliver two prototype payloads available for launch in FY 2024, one as a hosted payload and one as a free-flyer.
