About this award

BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc., a subsidiary of BAE Systems plc, has been awarded a $4.5M grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to develop the Compact Hyperspectral Prism Spectrometer for Space (SPACE-CHPS). This research and development effort, with an ultimate completion date of November 6, 2026, focuses on advancing spaceborne prism-based imaging spectroscopy capabilities for Earth observation. The award carries no set-aside designation and represents BAE Systems' continued involvement in cutting-edge instrumentation development for space-based scientific research, with work to be performed at the company's Boulder, Colorado facility.

This grant aligns with the federal government's broader investment in advanced Earth observation technologies and reflects BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc.'s established role as a key performer in space systems research and development. The company's previous grant awards through NASA's Science Mission Directorate have similarly focused on developing sophisticated scientific instruments and supporting critical research initiatives. The SPACE-CHPS program represents an opportunity to mature hyperspectral imaging technology that can enhance Earth observation capabilities, supporting applications in climate monitoring, resource management, and environmental assessment across government agencies.
