This is a Request for Information (RFI). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is soliciting information related to auroral instrument development and related capabilities. This RFI is for informational purposes only; it is not a request for proposals or a solicitation for a contract, grant award, or other transaction agreement, and it does not obligate the Government in any way.

This RFI is a request for industry and academia (or any organization capable of producing an auroral instrument) to demonstrate their ability to produce a space-based auroral instrument. As specified below to provide relevant information and thereby demonstrate their technological capability. Please see attached for further information.
