Astromaterials Glovebox Systems - Design & Fabrication (A-BOX)
Design, fabrication, testing, delivery, and installation of single-unit, multi-unit, or modular controlled-atmosphere glovebox systems (GS) to be acquired for the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Curation facility. ARES GSs support astromaterials sample processing, storage, and curation. Future and existing lunar and planetary sample returns — including but not limited to Artemis‑related missions, as reflected in Section 10.0, Delivery Timelines and Milestones, in the SOW — will require custom GSs. Manufacturing and fabrication guidelines for the gloveboxes and operational systems shall follow the American Glovebox Society Guidelines for Gloveboxes document number AGS-G001-2007 3rd Edition.
