This is a definitive federal contract awarded by NASA's Langley Research Center to the University of Oklahoma for the Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory (GeoCarb) mission. The $174,227,522 contract will cover the full NASA life cycle phases for this Earth science mission, from formulation through implementation and on-orbit operations. The GeoCarb mission will utilize a multi-channel spectrometer instrument to measure greenhouse gas concentrations and vegetation health over the Americas from a commercial communications satellite in geostationary orbit. Major subcontractors include Lockheed Martin, SES Space & Defense, and Southwest Research Institute, who will support the instrument design, spacecraft integration, and mission operations. This contract was competitively awarded under NASA's Earth Venture - Mission program and does not have a set-aside designation. The GeoCarb mission aims to significantly improve scientific understanding of the global carbon cycle.
