Recommendations for Interaction with Industry § Cost evaluation: § Involve industry in budgetary evaluation as early as possible through RFI type AO or other mechanism. § Labor rate evaluation in industry often differs from that of academia/institute due to larger accounting perimeter for facility/equipment amortization. § Profit is often limited in large R&D government contract § Involve industry as early as possible to transfer knowledge and refine cost evaluations § NFIRAOS process allows early industrial involvement in low risk contract (detailed design completion). § Selected approach might prevent true competition for most expensive work packages. Sponsoring competitive parallel early low cost phase may help preserve competition for manufacturing phase. © ABB Remote Sensing – Space Activities | Slide 19 2015-09-04 POLYM: POLYmer Morphology

business, and past achievements have been particularly successful § © ABB Remote Sensing – Space Activities | Slide 62 2015-09-04 § The ACE-FTS instrument, originally designed for a twoyear lifetime, has been operating for ten years and still continues to provide exceptional scientific data about the Earth’s atmosphere § The CrIS interferometers, built by ABB under a 50 M$ contract, are among the most sophisticated optical systems ever built for weather applications In 2009, the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) awarded the SCISAT-1 team with the Alouette Award for outstanding contribution to advancement in Canadian space technology, applications, science, and engineering ABB Remote Sensing Awards and success § In June 2006, ABB has also been presented with a NPOESS Outstanding Supplier Award from Northrop Grumman Corp., for exceptional NPOESS teamwork in the manufacture and delivery of the CrIS interferometer § In May 2011, Dr. Henry L. Buijs, co-founder and CTO at ABB, was awarded the John Chapman Award from the CSA for his contributions to the Canadian space program © ABB Remote Sensing – Space Activities | Slide 63 2015-09-04 § Henry Buijs established FTS as a powerful technique and a core Canadian expertise used for the monitoring of the atmosphere from space § He also contributed, in 1962, to the first balloon-borne measurement of night time atmospheric airglow. Fifty years later, CSA’s SCISAT-1 is making major contributions to the understanding of ozone chemistry using the same measurement technique.
