Description
STATEMENT OF WORK
1. Objective/Requirements
This requirement is for the acquisition of the Agilis NSMS Test System for NASA
Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The 8-channel system hardware along with the
software for post processing data. Support for conceptual design of the first measurement
test article as well as on-site and remote training is needed to reliably acquire high speed
stress measurement for turbomachinery. This laser tip timing measurement system is
necessary for the turbopump for InRoDES in house rotating detonation rocket engine
development and test program. The information listed below is required to complete this
purchase.
