Request For Information
A means to submit your finished RFI will be published when
our internet resources have been established. In the meantime, you can
view
the RFI form, copy, paste it into your own editor, and get
started.
Due Date: TBD
Areas A and B have to do with the operation and support of
the Roadmap project. If you express interest in those areas you will be
contacted.
Areas C through G are technologies needing analysis. To
contribute to this process in these areas, submit a Request For Information
(RFI) discussing various means that your analysis determines will be required
to achieve the goal of humans to Mars within each selected area. Submit a
synopsis of each of your findings on a separate RFI form by September 10th,
2001. These will be evaluated and for those proposals that are selected as
practicable and desirable technologies to pursue, a more detailed RFP (Request
For Proposal) or a more detailed RFI may be requested, which may include
background, graphics, details of any original research or other pertinent
information to incorporate this information into a final draft of a proposal to
the Steering committee.
Attempt to summarize each technology at a reasonable level
of complexity. For example, one might discuss the need for pressurized rovers,
and omit discussion of ignition key design on the rovers as too micro in scale,
and likewise omit discussion of the construction of manufacturing plants to
build them as too expansive. In other words, use your best judgement.
