Scalable Science Data Exploration (Amendment - 1)

Amendment 1 - Questions and Answers from industry regarding the Scalable Science Data Exploration Solicitation, along with an updated Solicitation. (May 19, 2022)

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is seeking development of tools, services and platform for scalable visualization, exploration, and analysis of science data on the commercial cloud environment. There is a need within NASA Earth Science to provide end users with a capability to visualize and interactively explore large  datasets. Towards that end, current capabilities need to be evolved using innovative solutions. The main objective of this effort is to develop cloud native tools and services for data ingest and transformation to support scalable dynamic visualization and exploration of science data.

The Inter Agency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) is a collaborative, nterdisciplinary team of civil service and contractors that works to further NASA’s Earth Science Data System (ESDS) Program goal of overseeing the lifecycle of Earth science data to maximize the scientific return of NASA's missions and experiments for research and applied scientists, decision makers, and the society at large. IMPACT’s three focus areas are interagency collaboration, assessment and evaluation, and research and development of advanced concepts. This contract contributes to this goal with the development of Components for Scalable Science Data Exploration.
