About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $260,061 firm fixed price contract to Orbital Sciences LLC Tactical Space Systems Division, now known as Space Systems Division, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation. The contract is to conduct a mission concept study for a small satellite constellation in support of NOAA's needs. Specifically, the study will address NOAA's Broad Agency Announcement seeking proposals for instrument concepts and integrated mission designs to provide regional real-time weather and space weather data collection from geostationary, highly elliptical, and Lagrange orbits. The contract is being carried out in Sterling, Virginia through November 2020 to further NOAA's efforts to obtain non-real time global environmental monitoring data through small satellites to support weather prediction modeling by the National Weather Service.
