Description

*** This tender requirement was abandoned prior to a Contract award decision.*** The RAL Space Department at STFC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) require custom window and flange assemblies for a 5m TV Chamber at RAL. These assemblies will interface in four locations on the TV Chamber.

This tender requires the provision of 4-off ISO-K 500 flanges and 6 completed window assemblies. The windows are divided into two types: 3-off Alignment Windows and 3-off Optical Windows.
