About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Marshall Space Flight Center awarded a definitive cost-no-fee contract to Arizona State University on November 13, 2015, with a $93.0 million ceiling value and no set-aside used. The contract funds the Phase A concept definition portion of the Psyche: Journey to a Metal World mission under the NASA Discovery Program 2014 Announcement of Opportunity (NNH14ZDA014O, solicitation dated November 5, 2014), with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2032. No base-plus-option structure is stated.

Work is performed in Tempe, Arizona (85281). The principal investigator leads the project, manages resources, and directs the science team through Phase A deliverables: project management, Phase A reviews, concept study report preparation, Phase B/C/D/E spacecraft development and mission planning, Phase B/C/D/E cost estimates, and orals and site visit support by key personnel. Should the mission be selected to continue into Phase B, the principal investigator leads the transition from notification of award through establishment of the Phase B contract. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the mission's major partner for spacecraft development and mission implementation, supporting the principal investigator with a team covering systems engineering, mission design, payload development, safety and mission assurance, navigation, and mission operations.

Subcontract sub-awards carry 2015 through 2018 award dates and include The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Southwest Research Institute, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with six additional university, research institute, and space-hardware subcontractors.
