About this award
This definitive contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center to ATK Space Systems LLC, a division of Northrop Grumman Corporation, for $7.579 million. The objective is to design, prototype, and test the Lunar Vertical Solar Array Technology, a 10-kilowatt robotic deployable solar panel system for providing electrical power at the South Pole of the lunar surface. This addresses NASA's solicitation seeking proposals to design and develop relocatable lunar surface solar arrays to support sustained lunar presence beginning in 2028 under the Game Changing Development program, with a base requirement for system design and analysis for up to 12 months and an optional 24 month prototype hardware build and test period. No set-aside designation or subcontractors were identified. If successfully developed, this technology could help power future NASA lunar landing and base missions beginning in 2024 through the following decade by providing a portable renewable energy source for sustained lunar operations.
