STATEMENT OF WORK FOR PROCUREMENT OF MICRON SILICON
STRIP DETECTORS FROM FBK FOR THE TIGERISS PIONEERS
MISSION
Objective/Requirements
NASA/GSFC/Code 661 is responsible for developing the silicon strip charge- and trajectorymeasuring
detector system for TIGERISS (Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder on the
International Space Station), which is a funded NASA Pioneers mission to be placed on the
International Space Station. TIGERISS, currently in Phase B, will require 400 silicon strip
detectors (SSDs) for the instrument and the schedule requires the use of multiple vendors to
accomplish the build. Hamamatsu is one of the few manufacturers of SSDs in the world and is a
potential supplier of flight SSDs for TIGERISS. In order to determine the performance of the
SSDs, the procurement of twenty single-sided, DC coupled 9.8 cm x 9.8cm x 500 um protoflight
silicon strip detectors is required.

1. Characteristics, Scope, and Specs
The contractor shall perform the following duties:
Fabricate twenty silicon strip detectors (SSDs) with the specifications and
performance requirements detailed in Table 1.
 Perform characterization testing that validates the performance requirements in Table

2. Place of Performance
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

3. Period of Performance
Fabrication should begin as soon as possible.
