About this award
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center awarded a $91.9 million definitive contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for the Mars Ascent Propulsion System (MAPS) on March 4, 2021, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025.
The originating procurement, posted as a special notice on December 20, 2023, sought design, development, testing, and evaluation of the Mars Ascent Vehicle's first and second stage solid rocket motors and Thrust Vector Control system, including materials acquisition to support flight tests. The notice indicated NASA's intent to pursue sole-source modifications to an existing Northrop Grumman contract due to the contractor's proprietary propellant technology and relevant experience, though competitive submissions were solicited through January 4, 2024.
Place of performance is Elkton, Maryland. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation operates the Weapon System Division (doing business as CCI Speer) as a wholly owned subsidiary focused on propulsion systems, initiating propellants, advanced composites, and ordnance components.
Named subcontractors include Owens Industries, LLC (fabrication services, Oak Creek, Wisconsin), American Automated Engineering Inc. (graphite mandrel tooling and aerospace manufacturing components), and BGT Aerospace LLC (precision mechanical components, Freeland, Michigan).
