About this award
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center awarded a $21.2 million definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on May 11, 2026, for incremental funding on Habitable Worlds Observatory system technology demonstrations and mission architecture studies. The contract carries a firm fixed-price structure with a ceiling value of $21,241,364 and an ultimate completion date of May 10, 2029.
Place of performance is Sterling, VA. The work supports NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory initiative through advanced systems engineering, spacecraft accommodation studies, and mission architecture analysis—consistent with the awardee's demonstrated experience on related NASA science missions including AXIS, STRIVE, Landsat Next, and Atmosphere Observing System variants. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation holds access to the RAPID IV multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract vehicle with Goddard, a $6 billion contract enabling rapid procurement of spacecraft and related services across NASA missions, under which this effort may be positioned for future task ordering.
