This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to MSNW LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to address the growing problem of space debris in low Earth orbit. The contract, valued at $125,000.00, is a grant for research aimed at developing techniques for active debris removal (ADR) to mitigate the exponential growth of debris that could render access to space impossible. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. The research builds upon prior work by NASA's Orbital Debris Program Office and the concept of the Kessler Syndrome, which predicted that collisions would lead to a self-sustaining debris field. The goal of this effort is to identify ways to stabilize the space debris population through disposal and removal of the largest objects.
