NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center awarded a definitive contract to Southwest Research Institute for the Juno New Frontiers Mission on February 23, 2006, with a ceiling value of $184.27 million under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing.

The contract supports Phase B development of the Juno mission to Jupiter under Principal Investigator Dr. Scott Bolton at Southwest Research Institute. The mission is managed by Marshall Space Flight Center's New Frontiers Program Office. Key team members include Jet Propulsion Laboratory as the Juno implementation team leader and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Division as the spacecraft bus provider. The PI's team at Southwest Research Institute is to begin work on a subset of Phase B activities as early in fiscal year 2006 as possible, with the statement of work specifying activities and associated deliverables necessary to initiate FY06 work. Dr. Bolton holds direct accountability to NASA for meeting scientific objectives within cost and schedule, with day-to-day project management delegated to Project Manager Rick Grammier. The mission involves collaboration with universities and field centers across science investigation, payload management, flight system engineering, and mission operations.

Place of performance is San Antonio, Texas. The contract completion date is October 15, 2026. California Institute of Technology serves as a subcontractor to the effort.

The national aeronautics and space administration has selected juno new frontiers mission under the direction of principal investigator (PI) DR. Scott bolton to continue development with the expectation that the juno mission will enter phase B in early fiscal year 2006. The juno mission will be managed by the marshall space flight center, new frontiers program office. Key juno team members include DR. Bolton's home institution, the southwest research institute (SWRI), the juno implementation team leader jet propulsion laboratory (JPL) and the spacecraft bus provider the lockheed martin space systems division (LM/SS). The PI's team at SWRI needs to begin work on a subset of phase B activities as early in FY06 as possible. This SOW provides a list of activities that are necessary to begin work in FY06 and their associated deliverables. The juno mission is a collaboration between southwest research institute (SWRI), JPL, lockheed martin (LM), and a complementary team of universities and field centers. The principal investigator, DR. Scott bolton, is at southwest research institute (SWRI) and is responsible to NASA for all aspects of the mission including achieving all scientific objectives and mission goals. JPL provides the project manager who oversees the day-to-day management of the project and will report to the PI. Principal investigator (PI) DR. Scott bolton is responsible to NASA for meeting the scientific objectives of the juno mission within cost and schedule. As PI, DR. Bolton has direct accountability to the NASA new frontiers program office for the implementation of juno. All juno science CO-is, the deputy PI and project scientist, the science investigation office manager, the E/PO effort, the juno advisory board and the PM report directly to DR. Bolton. The PI delegates the day-to-day management of the project to the project manager (PM), rick grammier. The project system engineer, payload manager, flight system manager, mission manager, science OPS center, business manager, LM contract CTM, and mission assurance manager all report directly to the PM.
