About this award
Near Space Corporation, an SBA-certified HUBZone firm specializing in high-altitude near-space platforms and scientific balloon systems, received a $25,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center on March 15, 2024. This minimum guaranteed task order is the initial award under a larger multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued up to $45 million through February 28, 2029, for Suborbital/Hosted Orbital Flight and Payload Integration Services. The contract supports NASA's Flight Opportunities Program, which facilitates the testing and maturation of space technologies through commercial flight partnerships. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. Work will be performed in Tillamook, Oregon, with completion targeted for November 30, 2025.
The delivery order requires Near Space Corporation to conduct a unique vehicle capability assessment and future space technology integration study demonstrating alignment with Flight Opportunities Program objectives and goals. This work aligns with the company's demonstrated expertise in developing and testing innovative technologies for high-altitude applications and its proven track record supporting NASA missions through grants and prior contracts. The assessment will likely inform the utilization of Near Space Corporation's near-space platforms and capabilities for payload integration and flight services under the broader IDC framework, advancing NASA's technology readiness efforts through commercial aerospace partnerships.
