This is a $186,336,824.00 definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center to The Leland Stanford Junior University, also known as Stanford University, for the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) project's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) investigation. The contract covers the design, analysis, development, fabrication, assembly, integration, testing, calibration, qualification, and delivery of a flight instrument for spacecraft integration, as well as support for instrument installation, integrated spacecraft testing, launch processing, and on-orbit checkout and characterization. It also includes the necessary science processing and operations ground systems and software. This is not a set-aside contract, meaning Stanford competed openly for the award. Stanford has a significant history of receiving federal contracts and grants, particularly from NASA and other agencies, for a wide range of scientific, technical, and professional services.
