About this award
NASA's Goddard Space Center awarded a $140.4 million definitive contract to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, for the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) mission on March 23, 2021, under a cost-no-fee pricing structure with no set-aside.
COSI is a wide field-of-view gamma-ray telescope designed to survey the gamma-ray sky at 0.2–5 MeV, perform high-resolution spectroscopy, wide-field imaging, and polarization measurements. Place of performance is Berkeley, California, with ultimate completion on September 30, 2027.
The originating solicitation was the NASA 2019 Astrophysics Small Explorer program, which selected two to three missions for Phase A risk reduction studies with one advancing to Phase B development and subsequent mission phases. NASA committed approximately $80–120 million per selected mission. COSI was selected and progressed through multiple phases, with this definitive contract covering design, integration, test, and mission operations work.
UC Berkeley engages a multi-institutional research team including Virginia Tech on FPGA development for Front-End Electronics and Anti-Coincidence Shield boards; Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on Payload Interface Plate design, fabrication, and test; Clemson University on data pipeline and analysis software, including source localization and background modeling; Louisiana State University on GRB alert system development and transient alert dissemination; and Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory on Instrument Control Package electronics design, including Power Switch and Mux boards, Digital Control Board, and flight harness support. The contract is cost-no-fee, reflecting the research mission context and federal funding flow to an academic prime contractor.
