This contract award to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, supports the development and operation of the Global Lyman-Alpha Imagers of the Dynamic Exosphere (GLIDE) instrument program for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The $79,937,707 cost-no-fee contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, was awarded on February 10, 2021 and runs through June 30, 2025.
The GLIDE instrument program is funded through NASA's 2018 Heliophysics Science Mission of Opportunity, a solicitation seeking proposals for space-based science investigations to advance the understanding of the Sun and its interactions with Earth and the solar system. Under this contract, UC Berkeley is leading the preliminary design of the GLIDE spacecraft, integration and test activities, and launch operations and mission support. Key subcontractors include the Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory, which will provide camera systems, and Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation, which will develop the preliminary spacecraft design.
