About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) received a $11.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on August 1, 2020, to continue Phase E support for the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) Mission through September 30, 2028. This delivery order, which is a follow-on from the previous ARDES I basic contract, represents a continuation of APL's long-standing role as the mission operations center for TIMED, a NASA scientific spacecraft that has been studying the least-explored region of Earth's atmosphere for over two decades. The contract was awarded without set-aside designation and is being performed in Laurel, Maryland, where APL maintains its primary facilities supporting space science operations.
The contract supports continued mission operations, data analysis, and instrument management for the TIMED spacecraft and its four onboard scientific instruments. APL has engaged multiple subcontractors to support delivery, including SSC Space US Inc. for continuation of TIMED monitoring services, Stromasys LLC for software licensing support (awarded February and March 2023), and IP Datasystems Inc. for IT infrastructure components including Dell PowerEdge servers (December 2022). This extended Phase E contract ensures uninterrupted scientific data collection and analysis capabilities for NASA's atmospheric research objectives, leveraging APL's established expertise in space mission operations and the substantial investment already made in mission infrastructure and personnel over TIMED's operational history.
