About this award
Sierra Space Corp was awarded a $2.0M grant by NASA's Shared Services Center for research and development of the Hydroponic Aeroponic Nutrient Delivery in Volumetrically Efficient Garden (HandiVEG) system. This contract, valued at $1,999,806 and awarded on November 27, 2023, supports the creation of compact nutrient delivery systems designed for future crewed missions to the Moon and Mars. The work will be performed at Sierra Space Corp's facility in Westminster, Colorado, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026. This award carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a research grant under "Other" pricing type.
The HandiVEG project aligns with NASA's broader objectives to develop life support and resource utilization technologies for deep space exploration. Sierra Space Corp, an aerospace technology manufacturer headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, brings significant experience in advanced space systems and research infrastructure support to this initiative. The company's portfolio includes extensive work with NASA and the U.S. Air Force on propulsion systems, environmental control systems, and payload integration—capabilities directly applicable to developing efficient growing systems for long-duration space missions where volumetric constraints and reliable nutrient delivery are critical mission success factors.
