About this award

This federal contract award, valued at $4,394,721.00, was granted to Arizona State University (ASU) to support the development of the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) mission. SPARCS will be the first mission to provide time-dependent spectral slope measurements, a capability that supports space science research.

The award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside designation. ASU has a broad range of experience executing federal contracts and grants, including work for agencies like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Department of Defense, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. ASU's capabilities span scientific research, technology development, and professional services across disciplines such as space science, engineering, and computational technologies.

This award appears to be part of a larger DARPA vehicle called the Rapid & Responsive Design to Digital-Manufacturing (R2D2) program, a $6,804,533 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that enables ASU to provide a variety of research, engineering, and consulting services to support advanced technology development initiatives.
