Typical COPV designs include a metalic liner overwrapped with a reinforcing fiber and epoxy matrix. The specification describes the mechanical, operating environment, and verification testing requirements for space-qualified pressurant vessels for a Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) payload, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The SDO Propulsion Subsystem will use two identical pressurant vessels, referred to as composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV). This term encompasses the metallic liner, composite overwrapping, and 2 polar mounting bosses, including 1 ported boss to act as the single interface tube, that make up the complete pressurant vessel assembly. The vendor shall provide the facilities, personnel, services, tools and equipment and materials necessary to deliver the work specified.
