About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA's Goddard Space Center issued a $56.506 million firm fixed-price delivery order to Southwest Research Institute on October 25, 2023, under the Rapid Spacecraft Acquisition IV (RAPID IV) IDIQ to develop the QuickSounder spacecraft, integrate the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) Engineering Development Unit, support launch operations and satellite activation, conduct three years of mission operations, and perform decommissioning, with performance complete by August 29, 2029.

Place of performance is San Antonio, Texas 78238. Southwest Research Institute, a San Antonio-based nonprofit R&D organization, competes without SBA set-aside designations across full and open federal procurements and maintains a substantial portfolio of space, defense, and civilian agency work, with particular depth in NASA programs and aerospace systems.

The delivery order engages a substantial subcontractor base including Rocket Lab USA (spacecraft integration, guidance-and-control software, reaction wheels, and flight hardware), Moog Inc. (isolation systems and feasibility studies across two divisions), Planetary Systems Corp (separation systems and stiffness testing), Emcore Space & Navigation (inertial measurement units), Busek Co. (propulsion subsystem), Sierra Space Corp (solar power array panels), and a multi-vendor technical supply team providing connectors, antennas, flight batteries, thermal switches, processors, capacitors, radiation-hardened electronics, magnetometers, and specialized aerospace components. Spacenav LLC provides flight dynamics and space situational awareness operational support; Kongsberg Satellite Services AS provides ground station communications and support. Additional support flows through Glenair connectors, Aerothreads multilayer insulation fabrication, Rocket Lab guidance software and flight hardware, and specialty component suppliers across electronics, structural materials, and spacecraft bus equipment spanning the full mission lifecycle from development through three years of on-orbit operations.
