About this award

NASA Goddard Space Center awarded a definitive contract to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for Phase B Bridge phase work and ongoing science operations of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission on May 22, 2013, with a ceiling value of $110,127,389.46.

The contract encompasses two parallel efforts. Phase B Bridge phase work includes developing documentation, plans, and schedules; establishing technical requirements in preparation for systems requirement review; performing trade studies outlined in the concept study report; providing overall management for payload development; delivering TESS systems engineering support in coordination with the GSFC project systems engineer; managing vendor and subcontractor contracts; establishing and maintaining an electronic database of TESS technical requirements with complete traceability and configuration control; and delivering all documentation per contract requirements. The second effort covers science operations for the remaining duration of the TESS mission, including science support for the TESS Guest Investigator Program and development and testing of hardware and software for the Science Operations Center.

Place of performance is Cambridge, MA 02139. The contract carries a cost-no-fee pricing structure. Ultimate completion date is December 1, 2026.

Subcontractors include the Space Telescope Science Institute (for retention, dissemination, and long-term archiving of science products and data), Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (for development, management, and execution of the follow-up observation program and assistance with the Input Catalog), Texas Tech University System (for data analysis review and public release summaries), Princeton University (for TESS data reduction software and documentation), and Espace Inc. (for instrument design engineering and technical support).
