28 Experiment Calls – Status and Evaluation Team Linked Project site, will link to CASSIS for additional publicity First NASA-external users expected to demonstrate experiments on SCaN Testbed by late 2013/early 2014 (depends on funding & development time) Evaluation Team –SCaN Testbed Experiment Board Chair: Richard Reinhart, SCaN Testbed Principal Investigator (PI) Board comprised of PI and co-PIs (GRC, GSFC, JSC, JPL), SCaN TSD Program (HQ), and Payload Eng Team, as required (PM, CE, SE&I, SW, MO)

29 General Experiment Support Activities Experiment Data Archiving System: Enormous Quantities of Data Generated During Experiment Development and Execution – Collects experimenter data off of experiment systems (DAS, EFEP) – Performs archival for single-point transfer to experimenters Experiment Development System (EDS): Breadboard SDRs and Avionics Systems for Initial Experiment Development – Provides new experimenters a system for waveform development/testing Less fidelity than GIU; less restriction on scheduling/operations Working on remote access capability – IT security issues – Developing RF capability for breadboards (typically baseband-only) – Procuring RF filters and other long-lead items On-orbit Channel Simulator: Used to model antenna characteristics using on-orbit antenna pattern data – Makes use of on-orbit checkout/commissioning antenna pattern dataset – Will provide critical RF link performance prediction for ISS environment

30 Experiment Calls – Selection Criteria Project Objectives – On-orbit, reconfigurable laboratory – providing broad participation to NASA, industry, academia, other government agencies – Reconfigurable and SDR technology advancement – Demonstrate new or advanced future mission capability Intrinsic Technical Merit – Technical Advancement – Uniqueness of using SCaN Testbed System – Technical Approach – Technology Infusion – Experiment PI and Team Experience Programmatic Elements – Availability of Information (data rights in relation to STRS Repository) – Schedule – Participation and Coordination (with NASA, industry, academia, etc.) – Resources
