NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to Ghaemi Optical Engineering LLC for $30,000 on August 11, 2026, to perform engineering services for preliminary design and evaluation of lens options for the Aeolus Wide Field Context Camera (WFCC), Phase I. This is a total small business set-aside. Work is performed in San Diego, California, with completion by August 31, 2026. The contractor evaluates three lens development paths—clean sheet design, reuse or minor modification of the VIPER mission NavCam lens, and modified COTS radiation-tolerant lens options—and assesses likelihood of meeting performance requirements including field of view, sharpness, chromatic aberration, and image circle size. Deliverables include weekly status meeting reports and written assessments of each design option with rough order of magnitude cost and schedule estimates. The originating solicitation (posted July 27, 2026, with quotes due July 29) specified 120 hours of work and required demonstrated history of designing, developing, and delivering flight lenses for deep space orbiter imaging systems, with a minimum of 10 years designing space-qualified optics.
