About this award
The University of Illinois, performing in Urbana, Illinois, was awarded a $4.94 million cost-plus-no-fee contract on April 15, 2020, by NASA's Goddard Space Center to conduct research and development for the Global Lyman-Alpha Imagers of the Dynamic Exosphere (GLIDE) instrument. This effort stems from NASA's 2018 Heliophysics Science Mission of Opportunity program, which sought proposals to advance understanding of the Sun and its interactions with Earth and the solar system. The GLIDE mission will utilize Lyman-alpha imagers aboard a spacecraft to reveal the global dynamics of Earth's exosphere, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026. This represents a non-set-aside, competitively awarded definitive contract utilizing a cost-no-fee pricing structure.
The contract engages three major subcontractors supporting distinct aspects of the GLIDE mission. The University of California, Berkeley serves as a child subcontractor, awarded June 8, 2020, providing Phase A concept study support including payload design, trade studies, spacecraft coordination with Ball Aerospace, and technical documentation. Boston University was awarded a subcontract on December 16, 2021, to contribute to the mission's development phase, leveraging its expertise in space exploration and optical imaging technologies. Computational Physics, Inc., a Virginia-based scientific and technical services provider specializing in atmospheric and space physics research, was awarded a subcontract on November 30, 2023, to provide specialized scientific and engineering support. These partnerships position the University of Illinois-led effort to deliver an innovative heliophysics investigation addressing fundamental questions about Earth's upper atmospheric dynamics.
