About this award
NASA's Goddard Space Center awarded a $10.54 million definitive contract to University Corporation For Atmospheric Research (operating as the National Center For Atmospheric Research) for the Chromospheric Magnetism Explorer (CMEx) mission on November 2, 2023, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure with no set-aside.
The CMEx mission investigates the magnetic structure of active regions on the sun and how the sun's magnetic field connects to the larger heliosphere, with particular focus on understanding the magnetic nature of solar eruptions and identifying magnetic sources of the solar wind. Place of performance is Boulder, Colorado.
The contract ceiling extends through June 30, 2027. Subcontractors include BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc., which provided concept study and extended Phase A support for instrument development and transition activities, and the Regents of the University of Colorado, which furnished laboratory support and site-visit coordination.
SCI reporting for FY2025 shows $186,000 invoiced across 0.1 FTEs with no subcontractor labor; the prime self-performed all reported hours.
