About this award
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), operated by the California Institute of Technology, received a cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order contract valued at $13.6 million for the Cold Operable Lunar Deployable Arm (COLDARM) program. Awarded on June 15, 2020, with a completion date of September 30, 2025, this contract supports NASA's lunar exploration objectives by developing robotic arm technology capable of operating in the extreme cold environment of the lunar surface. The contract carries no set-aside designation, indicating the award was based on JPL's demonstrated technical merit and specialized capabilities in spacecraft systems engineering and advanced robotics. Work is performed at JPL's facility in Pasadena, California.
This delivery order represents a focused effort within JPL's broader portfolio of lunar and planetary exploration programs. The Cold Operable Lunar Deployable Arm addresses a critical capability gap for future lunar missions, particularly those targeting permanently shadowed craters and other regions where temperatures can plunge well below the operational limits of conventional robotic systems. JPL's extensive experience developing sophisticated robotic systems and sensor technologies for Mars rovers and other space missions positions the laboratory as an ideal prime contractor for this specialized lunar technology development effort.
