DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal.\*\* This requirement is for the design, manufacture and delivery of 5 units (TSC\#1, TSC\#2 \[consists of two boxes 2a and 2b\], TSC\#3, TSC\#4) of dual-purpose Transport and Storage Containers (TSC) in which all OHB components of the Optical Ground System Equipment (OGSE) are housed, full details of which are contained in the UK SBS PR19081 Specification Document. RAL Space, at UK Research and Innovation STFC, is designing and building blackbody targets for the calibration of two instruments on the ESA Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) imaging and sounding satellites. The two instruments are called 'IRS' and 'FCI' . The blackbody targets require very accurate thermal control, based on a liquid nitrogen jacket, a helium gas gap (where heat conduction through the gas is controlled by adjusting its pressure), and electric heaters. These, together with associated electronics, controls, tooling, flanges, harnesses, and cryogenic supply systems and their ancillary pipework, form the Optical Ground System Equipment (OGSE). The OGSEs will be transported from STFC to OHB where they will be intermittently in use and in storage over a 20 year timespan. For the full Specification, please see document UK SBS PR19081 Specification, and any other relevant supporting information.
