NASA GSFC TSIS-2 mission operations and science data processing

**Buyer:** Goddard Space Flight Center
**Posted:** October 06, 2026
**Identifier:** 80GSFC26C0031
**NAICS:** 517810, 541715, 927110

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s TSIS-2 effort covers mission operations and science-data processing, with the University of Colorado’s LASP identified for the work.
- **Government buyer:** National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
- **Named organizations:** The University of Colorado Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) is identified as the service provider; General Atomics is identified as the spacecraft mission operations center receiving validated commands.
- **Services requested:**
  - **TSIS-2 mission operations:** Develop and validate command procedures, scripts, and uploads; support sensor command and telemetry operations; monitor instrument health and performance; maintain the Spectral Radiometer Facility and TSI Radiometer Facility; and investigate and resolve on-orbit anomalies.
  - **Science data processing and management:** Process, analyze, manage, archive, and distribute TSIS-2 science data; maintain processing software, calibration configuration, and algorithm documentation; and support scientific analysis and data reprocessing.
- **Data production requirements:** Produce TIM Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) Level 3 values four times daily as six-hour averages, and SIM solar spectra twice daily at 12-hour intervals. Deliver daily Level 3 products to NASA’s GES DISC with no more than 14 days of latency. Provide Level 0–3 products and associated metadata, ancillary, and housekeeping data for archiving.
- **Data-management requirements:** Maintain version control, traceability, backups, and archives; retain products for the mission life; demote products more than two versions old; and maintain the sensors’ Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document.
- **Notable qualification:** LASP is described as uniquely qualified based on its TSIS instrument heritage, facilities, software, and operational expertise.
- **Items and quantities:** No hardware products, part numbers, or fixed service quantities are specified; recurring data-production frequencies are described above.
- **OEMs:** No product manufacturer or OEM is identified.
