About this award
NASA Ames Research Center awarded a $20.742737 million cost-no-fee definitive contract to University System Of New Hampshire for Helioswarm program support on October 15, 2024, with performance completion by October 31, 2026.
The originating solicitation, posted July 2, 2019 and due September 30, 2019, sought Phase A concept studies for Heliophysics Explorers investigations. NASA designated up to $3.75 million in potential awards for nine-month concept studies with the expectation that at least one mission would advance to Phase B development. This contract represents the continuation and delivery phase for the Helioswarm mission under that framework.
Place of performance is Lee, New Hampshire. The University System of New Hampshire, operating through its University of New Hampshire division and administratively referenced as the New Hampshire School of Law, is a 1862 land-grant research institution serving as a prime recipient on competitive federal research grants and contracts across civilian space and science agencies. The institution competes without set-aside designation.
Subcontractors on Helioswarm program support include The Aerospace Corporation, Smithsonian Institution (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory), Southwest Research Institute, and The University of Iowa, with sub-award dates spanning January 2025 through September 2026. These collaborators provide systems engineering and mission assurance, instrument development and science support, space environment and plasma research, and heliophysics investigation leadership respectively. The contract carries no fee component, reflecting a research-focused cost-reimbursable structure typical of NASA science mission support.
