- This federal contract award is for the Advanced Technology Land Imaging Spectroradiometer (ATLIS), a small, multispectral pushbroom imager designed to provide calibrated imagery for the Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) program. The intent is to build and test a single spectral band prototype ATLIS to demonstrate its ability to meet or exceed SLI requirements for spatial and temporal coverage, spatial performance, radiometric signal-to-noise ratio, and other key parameters. The contract, awarded by...
- Raytheon Company's Air & Space Defense Systems Division has been awarded a $506.7 million cost-plus-award-fee definitive contract by NASA's Goddard Space Center to design, develop, fabricate, integrate, and deliver three LANDIS (Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity) flight instrument units with associated engineering, algorithm development, testing, and evaluation services. Work will be performed in El Segundo, California, with an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2037. This...
- This is a $7,128,763.50 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Raytheon Company, a major aerospace and defense contractor, for the Improved Radiometric Calibration of Future Land Imaging Systems (IRIS) project. The IRIS project aims to develop and demonstrate technology to reduce risk, cost, size, volume, mass, and development time for next-generation Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) satellite systems, a key objective of NASA's SLI...
- This federal contract award, valued at $164,061.32, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to Raytheon Company's Air & Space Defense Systems Division. The contract, titled "Innovative Calibration Method for the Landsat Reflective Bands," is a grant for research and development focused on characterizing the image quality and radiometric calibration performance of the Landsat satellite imager's reflective bands through...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,328.92 grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to investigate technologies and techniques to support the calibration of current and future Landsat instruments and the verification of their higher-level products. The Landsat program has provided thermal infrared image data of the Earth for over 30 years, and as the program moves towards providing higher-level science products, the accuracy of the thermal band...
- NASA awarded a $3,791,652.02 research grant to Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., a division of Ball Corporation, to develop the Reduced Envelope Multispectral Sensor (REMI). REMI is a new sensor architecture that meets all heritage Landsat requirements (visible through thermal IR) in a single payload, with reduced size, weight, and power consumption. The goal is to reduce the risk, cost, and development time for the next generation Sustained Land Imaging (SLI) instruments, while...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $3,010,707.77 grant to Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. to mature the Compact Hyperspectral Prism Spectrometer (CHPS) imaging spectrometer technology for infusion into the Landsat program. The objective is to develop a new generation of smaller, more capable, and less costly instruments to meet or exceed current land imaging capabilities and support the Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) program. This three-year program,...
- This federal contract award to Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems (NGAS) is for the development of an Integrated Photonic Imaging Instrument under the Sustainable Land Imaging - Technology (SLI-T) program. The $827,295.24 grant aims to advance photonic imaging technology for future land imaging needs, including cost-effective and compact hyperspectral imaging capabilities. NGAS will leverage its existing work on waveguide filters and detectors to build a prototype instrument covering two key SLI...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,296,861.00, was granted to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support the Landsat mission's thermal band calibration activities. The primary objective is to continue providing support for the pre-flight testing, launch, and on-orbit commissioning of the Landsat 9 Thermal Infrared Sensor-2 (TIRS-2) instrument. The scope also includes support for ongoing calibration of the Landsat 8...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc. is for the development of a Hyperspectral Land Imager (HLI) for the Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) program. The $168,137.50 grant will fund a roughly 3-month effort to assess the performance of a prism-based HLI system currently at Technology Readiness Level 2. The goal is to study how this design could potentially be integrated into future Landsat missions,...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $2,978,337.33 grant to Raytheon Company's Space & Airborne Systems division to build and test a prototype of the Advanced Technology Land Imaging Spectroradiometer (ATLIS). ATLIS is a compact, multispectral pushbroom imager designed to provide visible through shortwave infrared calibrated imagery that meets or exceeds the requirements of NASA's Sustainable Land Imaging Technology (SLI-T) reference mission architecture. The 19-month project aims to demonstrate the performance of ATLIS's wide field-of-view, fast optics, and time delay and integration approach in achieving the SLI-T spatial, temporal, radiometric, and other key specifications using a smaller, lighter instrument compared to the Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager. No set-aside designation was specified. This effort supports NASA's land imaging and space weather monitoring initiatives.
