About this award
This federal contract award, NNX17AI35A, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a component of the University of Texas System. The major research focus of the project is to advance the state-of-the-art in autonomous navigation of space vehicles in the absence of GPS measurements. The work develops deep space and spacecraft rendezvous navigation solutions that are applicable to future Orion missions, which aim to take humans to deep space and enable rendezvous outside of low or medium Earth orbits. This is a cooperative agreement with a ceiling value of $499,375.09 and a completion date of November 17, 2020. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Texas at Austin is the prime contractor, leveraging its expertise in aerospace engineering, materials science, and sensor technology to deliver this research effort. The University of Texas System, as the parent organization, has an extensive track record of receiving federal contracts and grants across diverse scientific and technical domains to support the missions of agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and National Institutes of Health.
Description
The major research focus of the proposed project is to advance the state of the art of autonomous navigation of space vehicles in the absence of GPS measurements. The work develops deep space as well as spacecraft rendezvous navigation solutions. Rendezvous without GPS allows for a common framework for both earth orbit and non-earth orbit scenarios. Autonomous deep space navigation avoids the need for continuous communications with the ground. Both these research areas find great applicability in nasas future orion missions, which are planned to take humans to deep space and rendezvous outside of low or mid earth orbits.
