NASA's Johnson Space Center awarded a $7.25M firm fixed-price purchase order to Jena-Optronik Gesellschaft MIT Beschraenkter Haftung on April 17, 2024, for the development and delivery of a commercial light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor to support the On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM-1) mission. The LIDAR sensor will enable range measurements between spacecraft during orbital operations, with specified measurement capabilities between 1.5 and 250 meters. Jena-Optronik, a German-based manufacturer specializing in advanced optical sensing technologies for space applications, is required to fabricate and deliver the spaceflight-qualified sensor within 18 months to meet the OSAM-1 launch readiness target of February 2026. This contract was awarded with no set-aside designation, reflecting the vendor's competitive expertise in the aerospace sector. The OSAM-1 mission represents a critical demonstration of NASA's in-space servicing and manufacturing capabilities, with the objective of rendezvousing with the Landsat 7 satellite to demonstrate robotic capture, repair, and refueling technologies in low Earth orbit. Jena-Optronik has established itself as a key supplier of LIDAR sensors and optical instruments to NASA since 2006, with previous work spanning multiple NASA centers including Goddard Space Flight Center and Johnson Space Center. The contract culminates from a Special Notice issued in October 2023 that sought to establish a sole-source procurement with Jena-Optronik, with a completion date set for December 31, 2025, and performance to be executed in Germany.
