This is a SBIR Phase II contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Busek Co., Inc., a small business manufacturer of spacecraft propulsion systems, to develop a versatile 6U CubeSat capable of reaching a lunar orbit from geostationary orbit. The primary objective is to demonstrate a complete miniature ion propulsion system using a solid-storable iodine propellant, which can provide high specific impulse performance previously...
This federal contract award, valued at $9,290,842.24, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to develop and launch the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper (LunaH-Map) CubeSat. The 6U CubeSat will enter a polar orbit around the Moon with a low 5-12 km altitude perilune centered on the lunar South Pole. LunaH-Map will carry two neutron spectrometers to map the distribution of near-surface hydrogen within permanently shadowed regions of the...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC17K0665, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Morehead State University, a non-profit educational institution. The $99,997.80 grant-type contract supports the PRISM CubeSat mission, which aims to determine the origin of Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. The mission will measure the surface composition of Phobos using a time-of-flight ion composition spectrometer, without landing on the surface. This contract...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $139,230.00 firm fixed price contract to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to refurbish and launch a 6U CubeSat called the Lower Atmosphere/Ionosphere Coupling Experiment (LAICE). The LAICE CubeSat was originally developed by Virginia Tech under a National Science Foundation grant, but had been shelved due to challenges obtaining an FCC license. This contract will enable NASA to take possession...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Morehead State University (MSU) is for the BI-SAT OBSERVATIONS OF THE LUNAR ATMOSPHERE ABOVE SWIRLS (BOLAS) mission concept. The BOLAS mission aims to study the lunar hydrogen cycle and space weathering processes by making repeated high- and low-altitude measurements above the Moon using a tethered CubeSat system. This $99,997.80 grant-type contract will support the feasibility assessment and development...
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) with a ceiling value of $200,000.00. The contract is to design, build, and operate a 3U CubeSat to demonstrate a novel radiation-tolerant computer technology that has been matured to Technology Readiness Level 6 over the past 8 years through prior NASA-funded projects. The CubeSat mission will be fully planned, designed, and executed by an interdisciplinary team...
