THE WORK SPECIFIED IN THIS SOW COVERS THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE L GARDE SOLAR SAIL DEMONSTRATION DURING PHASE B. 7.1.1 SAILCRAFT BASE PERIOD ELEMENTS OF WORK BASE PERIOD DESCRIPTION THE SAILCRAFT BASE PERIOD SOW WILL BEGIN AT PROGRAM AUTHORITY TO PROCEED (ATP) AND END AT PDR. DURING THIS PERIOD THE EFFORT WILL BE FOCUSED ON FOUR MAIN EFFORTS: 1) RESTART FABRICATION, 2) PRELIMINARY DESIGN, 3) COUPON TESTING, AND 4) COMPONENT TESTING AND DEMONSTRATIONS. RESTART SOLAR SAIL FABRICATION DESCRIPTION DURING PREVIOUS EFFORTS MATERIAL HANDLING AND MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES AND EQUIPMENT WERE MATURED. SINCE THE MOST RECENT SOLAR SAIL PROGRAM IN 2007, THESE MACHINES HAVE BEEN IDLED AND NO SAIL COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO RESTART THESE FABRICATION MACHINES AND TO REACQUAINT THE L GARDE TECHNICIANS WITH THE ART OF SOLAR SAIL MANUFACTURING. PRELIMINARY DESIGN DESCRIPTION THIS EFFORT ENCOMPASSES MISSION DESIGN, SYSTEMS DESIGN, AND SPACECRAFT PRELIMINARY DESIGN. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS THE PROGRAM WILL BE SHAPED AND DIRECTED TO A PRELIMINARY DESIGN THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE MISSION. ALL TESTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS WILL BE INPUT TO THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN. THE OUTPUT OF THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN EFFORT WILL BE A PDR PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES ANALYSIS AND TESTING RESULTS AS WELL AS CAD RENDERINGS AND DETAILED DRAWINGS. COUPON TESTING DESCRIPTION THE BASE PERIOD COUPON TESTING WILL FOCUS ON CONNECTING THE DESIGN OF THE SAIL DEPLOYED IN THE NASA PLUM BROOK VACUUM CHAMBER WITH PROPOSED SAIL DESIGN. THROUGH A SERIES OF SIMPLE COUPON TESTS L GARDE SHALL DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN THE PROPOSED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND GEOMETRY. SPECIFIC EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING OF THE PROPOSED SAIL MATERIAL TO FUNCTION IN THE RELEVANT SPACE ENVIRONMENT. COMPONENT DEMONSTRATIONS DESCRIPTION L GARDE SHALL PERFORM SEVERAL COMPONENT LEVEL TEST AND DEMONSTRATIONS.
