About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), operating as a child entity of the Smithsonian Institution, was awarded a $1.84M definitive contract by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on March 4, 2021, for the High Resolution Coronal Imager (HI-C) Flare Rocket program, with performance scheduled through March 3, 2026. The contract is structured as a cost-no-fee arrangement with no set-aside designation, indicating competitive award. The work will be performed at SAO's Cambridge, Massachusetts facility, where the organization will continue its established role in developing advanced scientific instrumentation and providing technical support for solar physics research and space missions. The HI-C Flare Rocket represents a continuation of SAO's expertise in high-resolution imaging systems for studying solar phenomena, leveraging the organization's track record in sophisticated aerospace systems development.

This award originated from NASA's 2019 Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation, an omnibus program administered by the Science Mission Directorate that funds research and technology development across space and Earth science domains. SAO's selection reflects the organization's demonstrated capabilities in astrophysics and solar physics research, areas central to NASA's science initiatives. The cost-no-fee structure indicates a collaboratively structured effort where SAO's expertise in instrument development and observational research will be applied to advance understanding of solar coronal dynamics through rocket-based high-resolution imaging technology.
