About this award

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) was awarded a $13.0 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on August 14, 2020, to conduct bi-static synthetic aperture radar observations of the lunar surface. Under this contract, APL will operate the Miniature Radio Frequency (Mini-RF) synthetic aperture radar instrument team, utilizing NASA's Deep Space Network DSS-13 aperture as the X-band transmission source. The contract extends through September 30, 2028, and will be performed at APL's facility in Laurel, Maryland. No small business set-aside was applied to this award, reflecting the specialized and technical nature of the required lunar reconnaissance capabilities.

This delivery order supports NASA's lunar science objectives through advanced radar observations that enhance understanding of the lunar surface composition and characteristics. APL, a premier federally funded research and development center affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, brings substantial expertise in space science instrumentation and systems engineering to this mission. The contract includes a subcontract with IP Datasystems Inc. for Isilon A300 node systems with 4TB drives, providing the data storage infrastructure necessary to manage the high-volume scientific data generated by the synthetic aperture radar observations.

Description

The miniature radio frequency (MINI-RF) synthetic aperture radar instrument's team (JHU/APL) will perform BI-static synthetic aperture radar observations of the lunar surface using the deep space network's DSS-13 aperture as the X-band transmission.
