OSIRIS-REx Lab Organic and Inorganic Analyses Monitoring[E12]

From the notice

Titre : Analyses de surveillance pour les composés organiques et inorganiques du laboratoire d'OSIRIS-REx The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is recognized worldwide for its support to the exploration of space. An example of this support is the CSA’s contribution of the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA) instrument to the asteroid sample return mission OSIRIS-REx. OSIRIS-REx is a NASA-led mission that returned a sample from asteroid Bennu to Earth in September 2023. In return for Canada’s contribution of OLA, Canada will receive 4% by mass of the returned sample, marking Canada’s first samples returned from another solar system body and the 5th country in the world to have samples collected in space. The CSA is now expanding its laboratory capacity to prepare for the arrival of its portion of the OSIRIS-REx sample. Specifically, CSA seeks to monitor particulate and air contamination in its laboratories This analysis must be comparable to NASA and JAXA, who also monitor contamination in their curation facilities using VPD-ICP-MS and TD-GD-MS analysis of silicon wafers and absorbent tubes. Accordingly, the Canadian Space Agency requires a specialized service for monitoring organic and inorganic contamination in laboratories and clean rooms for the curation of astromaterials. The Work will involve the following: 1. Analysis of silicon wafers by vapour phase decomposition (VPD) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace metals; 2. Analysis of silicon wafers by thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) for organic compounds; and 3.…[E5]
