The Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking to establish a Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) Dynamic Framework (DF) to support the delivery objectives of our Ubiquitous Connectivity (UC) team.The main objective of the UC team is to deliver on collaborative projects in partnership with consortium members for different types of customers ranging from end-users, industry, government/councils, LEPs etc. The framework is need for the following reasons. Firstly, we recognise that there are some areas of expertise which may not exist with the team, therefore this framework will hopefully fill these gaps. Secondly, in periods of peak project load, the framework will allow the offloading of work while the team takes a more supervisory role. Thirdly, it is hoped that the framework will support more efficient processes that will allow access to off-the-shelf as well as cutting edge technologies, solutions and products which will support us not only in the timely delivery through efficient purchases but also be in the forefront of innovation.

This includes a substantial archive of data and an ongoing delivery of new data from satellites tasked by UK customers.This contract allows multiple users to access the data via the vendors service platform.Deliverables include:- Abundance dataset: Access the abundance datasets for select locations (approximately 5,000 images); a multi-layered image containing methane concentration amounts and surface reflectance. Spatial resolution is less than 50m.- Concentration map: Access to concentration maps of methane emissions. Spatial resolution is less than 50m.- Archive data which is historical satellite data from at least the previous two years and for select countries (i.e. spatial extents).The Satellite Applications Catapult is making this purchase on behalf of the UK Space Agency who have instructed it to use this supplier.

This tender exercise is for the purchase of a new Anechoic chamber, as outlined by the technical requirements.

The IOSM Robotics Facility at the Westcott Venture Park offers capabilities that allow companies and institutes the ability to perform representative IOSM operations. Primarily utilising a pair of robotic arms mounted on low friction rails simulating low gravity environments for spacecraft, the facilities will allow the Catapult to test and validate capability for both those who may operate in orbit and those who will control spacecraft performing IOSM functions. Supporting the facility is a secondary robotic laboratory for development and testing of concepts and a virtual engineering environment consisting of simulation and digital twin software, virtual reality headsets and ancillary equipment. Scope The haptic device is expected to offer the following features: - 6 degrees of freedom (3x translational, 3x rotational); all to be active - 1 active gripping degree of freedom (to enable gripping mechanisms directly from the haptic device) - Resolutions to be: - translation < 0.01 mm - rotation 0.09 deg - grasping 0.006 m - Payload forces to be a minimum of: - translation 10 N - Interface: manufacturers standard but expected to be compatible with Universal Robot e-series, Polyscope 5.9 and above - Power supply: 240V AC 50Hz - Software: to be compatible with Microsoft Windows, Ubuntu Linux, Python, MatLab Simulink & ROS - Device should be free standing without the need for additional support (if this is not the case, the supplier must state this and include for a support stand) The supplier is expected to include in their offer: - Haptic device - Support stand (if required) - Necessary cabling to connect power and the haptic device to a host PC/device - Delivery to the address shown - All software (and associated APIs) to include perpetual licensing consideration - User documentation - Warranty for 1 year
