About this award
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center awarded a $2.61 billion definitive contract to Association Of Universities For Research In Astronomy, Inc. (through its Space Telescope Science Institute division) for Hubble Space Telescope science program implementation, operations, and servicing on September 15, 1987, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2026.
The contract covers science program implementation including mission planning, proposal selection and time allocation management, and community outreach; routine science operations including proposal generation, observation planning, data processing, archival and distribution, calibration assistance, and user support; ground system sustaining engineering for science operation system maintenance and infrastructure administration; servicing mission support for observatory verification and instrument development; generation of performance and science return reports; astronomical community and public outreach; and special projects including the Origins Forum. The contract includes an additional two-year period following end-of-mission for archival research, during which archival operations and maintenance, research proposal selection and grant administration, and public outreach will continue at reduced support levels for data analysis software enhancements.
Place of performance is Baltimore, MD. The contract is priced as cost-plus-incentive. Subcontractors include Insight Public Sector, Inc., Sterling Computers Corporation (a Women-Owned Small Business), Amazon Web Services, Inc., and Carahsoft Technology Corp, providing IT infrastructure, software licensing, and cloud services support.
Description
The primary activities covered by this effort include the final servicing mission and subsequent operations through end-of-mission. These activities include: a. Science program implementation including: mission planning support, science program definition support, management of the proposal selection, time allocation, and grant award committee processes, and science community outreach. B. Routine science operations including: proposal generation and receipt, observation planning and scheduling, updating instrument handbooks, observing and user support, data processing and product generation, archival and data distribution services, calibration assistance and data analysis, anomaly investigation support, user grant administration, observer assistance and engineering operations support. C. Ground system sustaining engineering including: science operation system maintenance, infrastructure administration and support, and documentation maintenance d. Servicing mission support including: preparation and execution of the observatory verification program, instrument development support, and optical alignment testing support e. Generation of performance, science return, and other pertinent informational reports to the hstp f. Astronomical community and general public/educational outreach g. Special projects including origins forum and independent research this contract includes an additional two-year period after the end of HST's science-mission. This extra time following the cessation of scientific observations is for two years of follow-on archival research. During the final two years of the contract, archival operations and maintenance, an archival research proposal selection process and associated grant administration, and a public outreach program will continue. Data analysis software will also be maintained but at a lower level of support such that only modest enhancements may still be made. Continuing support will also include the coordination of data analysis software that is produced by the astronomical community. Orig PSC AR20
