About this award
NASA's Goddard Space Center awarded a definitive cost-no-fee contract to The Regents of the University of California (University of California, Berkeley) for the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) mission Phase A concept study on August 21, 2019, with a ceiling value of $80.465 million and ultimate completion date of August 1, 2029.
The originating solicitation, posted under the Third Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity Notice (SALMON-3), seeks space flight investigations advancing NASA objectives in science, exploration, and technology. UC Berkeley's work encompasses detailed design and planning for the ESCAPADE mission to meet requirements defined in the program-level requirements appendix. Place of performance is Berkeley, California.
The contract engages multiple specialized subcontractors. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University provides the Langmuir Probe suite for the two ESCAPADE spacecraft, participating in requirements development and probe design evolution. Rocket Lab USA Inc. supports spacecraft bus and subsystem design, development plans, analyses, and component downselection. Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems conducts bus subsystem trade studies and requirements feasibility review. Advanced Space LLC contributes mission design, trajectory requirements, and mission design baseline refinement.
UC Berkeley operates as a non-profit research institution without socioeconomic set-aside designations, competing on scientific merit across federal research programs. The institution's federal portfolio is research-intensive; SCI-reportable service contract invoiced revenue remains zero across fiscal years 2022 through 2025, reflecting UC Berkeley's concentration in research grants and cooperative agreements rather than traditional service contracting.
