- 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...
- 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...
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 vicarious methods. The goal is to simplify the onboard calibration system, thereby reducing system development costs while maintaining or improving calibration performance. This aligns with NASA's efforts to continue and enhance the long-standing Landsat program, which provides critical global land imaging data. The award does not have a set-aside designation, as Raytheon is a large prime contractor in the aerospace and defense industry. Raytheon's parent company, RTX Corporation, has a history of federal contract and grant awards for advanced technologies, products, and services supporting various government agencies.
