About this award
The California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) received a delivery order contract valued at $5.23 million for the development and delivery of an ELECTRA UHF Proximity-Link Payload for the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. Awarded on October 1, 2018, with a completion date of September 30, 2028, this cost-plus-fixed-fee contract supports JPL's ongoing responsibilities as a NASA-funded research and development center specializing in space exploration and planetary science. The work will be performed in Pasadena, California, and does not utilize any set-aside designation, reflecting Caltech's selection based on technical merit and specialized capabilities in spacecraft instrumentation and communications systems.
The ELECTRA payload represents a critical communications component for MAVEN, enabling proximity-link relay communications between Mars orbiters and rovers or landers on the Martian surface. This contract demonstrates Caltech's extensive expertise in designing complex scientific instrumentation and advanced sensor technologies for space missions. The multi-year performance period reflects the iterative nature of spacecraft payload development, including design, fabrication, testing, and mission support activities typically associated with deep space exploration programs managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
