About this award

Oregon State University was awarded a $4.44 million firm fixed-price contract by NASA's Goddard Space Center on June 30, 2022, under the PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission's NRA (NASA Research Announcement) for HyperNav. The contract, with a completion date of June 30, 2026, calls for the development of a fleet of autonomous profiling floats equipped with highly accurate, well-characterized hyperspectral radiometric sensors to provide vicarious calibration measurements for ocean color satellite systems. This work will be performed in Corvallis, Oregon. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive award based on technical capabilities.

Oregon State University engaged three major subcontractors to support this effort: Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc., a leading manufacturer of oceanographic instrumentation based in Bellevue, Washington; the University of Maine System through its flagship University of Maine campus; and the University of California, San Diego. All three subcontractors were awarded their portions in the final months of 2022, aligned with the overarching HyperNav-II initiative focused on establishing a new paradigm for ocean color satellite calibration through highly accurate hyperspectral radiometric measurements from autonomous platforms. The collaborative structure leverages specialized expertise in oceanographic sensor development, marine research platforms, and calibration methodologies essential to advancing NASA's ocean color monitoring capabilities.
