About this award

Moog Inc. was awarded a $17.3M firm fixed-price definitive contract by NASA Johnson Space Center on October 28, 2020, to design, develop, fabricate, and deliver the Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU) for the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) lunar mission. The contract, performed in Gilbert, Arizona, represents a critical component of NASA's lunar exploration objectives, with VIPER designed to investigate water ice and other volatiles at the Moon's south pole. The recent modification redefined thermal analysis milestone payments, incorporated revision A of the integration and test procedure for flight spares, and extended the period of performance to July 31, 2025. This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation.

The contract involved a robust supply chain supporting the avionics unit development. Moog's Broad Reach Division served as the prime contractor and subcontractor for space vehicle components, with significant support from specialized electronics and aerospace suppliers including 3D Plus USA Inc. (memory microcircuits and space camera systems), International Rectifier Hirel Products Inc. (radiation-hardened semiconductors and DC/DC converters), BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (circuit card assemblies and avionics components), Glenair Inc. (cable assemblies and electrical interconnects), Aemi Holdings LLC (RF switches and electronic components), and Avnet Inc. (field programmable gate arrays and related hardware). The subcontractor base reflects the highly specialized nature of lunar mission avionics, requiring radiation-hardened, space-qualified electronic components and precision assemblies to ensure reliable rover operations in the harsh lunar environment.
