About this award
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), operating as a division of the California Institute of Technology, was awarded a $3.18M delivery order contract on July 23, 2025, for development of the Tethered Intelligent Ultralight Power System (TULIPS), a 10kW power transfer system designed for Mars and Moon applications. Structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with a completion date of August 23, 2026, this effort supports NASA's exploration objectives by advancing power generation and transfer technologies critical to sustained lunar and Martian operations. The contract was not subject to any set-aside designation, reflecting the selection based on JPL's technical capabilities and expertise in advanced space systems development. Work will be performed at JPL's facility in Pasadena, California.
This contract aligns with JPL's established role as a premier federally funded research and development center specializing in space exploration technologies and advanced engineering solutions. The TULIPS system represents a significant innovation in power delivery for extraplanetary environments, where reliable, efficient power generation is essential for mission success. JPL's extensive track record in developing spaceflight systems, autonomous technologies, and complex scientific instrumentation positions the organization to execute this critical technology development effort for NASA's lunar and Mars exploration programs.
