The contractor's primary task was to provide design, engineering and fabrication support for AFGL toward the development of payloads for infrared measurements and other physical science experiments in space. Specific services provided included mechanical design and analysis of mechanical pieces and electro-mechanical devices, development of cost effective fabrication techniques, testing and field support of the hardware. Also provided were the design, fabrication, assembly, testing and integration of electronic devices including PCB's and their circuitry. Efforts consisted of design and fabrication of one-of-a-kind payloads and flight instruments, ground equipment, field launch services and refurbishment of recovered payloads and instruments.
