About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) was awarded a $594,805 delivery order by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on September 1, 2021, to provide hydrodynamics expertise support to the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) for the Orion Crew Module Uprighting System. This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, with performance concluding on March 31, 2027, leverages APL's specialized technical capabilities in systems engineering and advanced analysis to support critical components of NASA's Artemis program. The award carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting the specialized and technical nature of the hydrodynamics analysis required for Orion's water landing and recovery operations. Work will be performed at APL's primary facility in Laurel, Maryland.
This delivery order capitalizes on APL's extensive portfolio of space-related research and development contracts and its established partnership with NASA on mission-critical engineering challenges. As a federally funded research and development center operated by Johns Hopkins University, APL regularly provides sophisticated technical support across NASA and Department of Defense space programs. The contract represents a continuation of APL's role in supporting advanced spacecraft systems development, where hydrodynamic analysis is essential for ensuring crew safety during Orion's splashdown and recovery phase following lunar missions.
