MOXIE is a partnership between an MIT-led investigation team and a Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)-led instrument project team. Under this $6,147,413.22 firm-fixed-price contract, MIT will maintain subcontracts, provide investigation summaries, participate in project meetings, and support the MOXIE instrument development. The contract covers the period through the end of the Mars 2020 Phase-D in August 2018, with Phase-E activities discussed at a high level. The MOXIE project aims to test methods for producing oxygen from the Martian atmosphere to support future human exploration of Mars. MIT has been awarded this contract without any set-aside designation.

Description

NASA research announcement award for mars oxygen isru experiment (moxie). Moxie represents a partnership headed by an MIT-led investigation team and a JPL-IED instrument project team. The instrument project team builds, tests, and operates moxie. The integrated moxie investigation and instrument development plans are detailed in the moxie experiment implementation plan. The investigation team activities are summarized in the statement of work (SOW). The investigation team activities includes predicts of the expected performance of the moxie, analyses the operational science data, identifies unexpected returns, and is the custodian of the science data. Under this contract, the investigation team will be funded from NASA HQ. This SOW covers a period of performance through the end of mars 2020's phase-d, ending by the end of fiscal august 2018. Phase-e activities will be discussed here, but in less detail and with less planning maturity than phase-a through -0 activities. The MIT tasks are elements of the overall moxie investigation development. Per the announcement of opportunity the moxie development was broken into work breakdown structure (WBS) elements. Out of the overall project effort the following WBS elements are the performance responsibility of MIT. Other was elements are the performance responsibility of JPL or are subcontracts managed by the moxie JPL instrument development team. Collectively, the WBS elements at MIT and JPL constitutes the complete moxie investigation. Work under this contract includes efforts such as: - maintain subcontracts and/or agreements with CO-investigators (CO-is) and international collaborators - provide an investigation summary and status for the mid-year and end-of-year reviews required by advanced exploration systems, NASA HQ - participate in moxie team meetings, internal as well as coordination meetings with the mars 2020 payload office, including weekly technical interchange meetings (tims) - participate in the mars-2020 moxie monthly management reviews (mmrs) for the purpose of reviewing and reporting on technical, management, schedule, and cost issues. A copy of the monthly MMR report provided to NASA HQ shall satisfy this contract's monthly reporting requirement. - participate in key investigation reviews, including the instrument critical design review (icdr) and the instrument delivery review (IDR) and operational readiness tests (orts), further details as described in the EIP - support and document the moxie development
