- This is a $1,049,941 Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC) to Emergent Space Technologies, LLC under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II program. The purpose of the contract is to modernize the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center's (GSFC) General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) with world-class 3D visualization capabilities. This will be achieved by integrating the OpenFrames open-source visualization...
- <p>The U.S. Goddard Space Center awarded a $132,725.96 firm fixed-price purchase order to Thinking Systems, Inc. for software licenses and updates to support the PARAMAT GMAT collocation library. The award has no set-aside designation and is intended to provide new capabilities. The contract has an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2018.</p>
- This contract award to Emergent Space Technologies, LLC is for the continued development of the OpenFrames Application Programming Interface (API) under a Phase II-X Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract with NASA. OpenFrames allows third-party applications to display high-fidelity interactive 3D visualizations without requiring advanced computer graphics programming. The focus of this task is to enhance the OpenFramesInterface plugin for the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT)...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) awarded a $441,733 research grant to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (Baer Institute), a non-profit organization, to perform development and design research support for a Trade-space Analysis Tool for Constellations (TAT-C). This research will support the design of earth science distributed mission architectures at GSFC. The grant is based on a competitively selected, peer-reviewed...
- Global Atmospheric Technologies and Sciences, Inc. (GATS) was awarded a $1.36M research grant by a civilian federal agency on October 19, 2023, to develop, test, and implement machine-learning methodology for quantifying heat and momentum fluxes into the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere. The work addresses gravity wave energy and momentum transports originating from lower atmospheric sources, directly supporting Science Goals 2 and 4 of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey on...
- This is a cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Syracuse University to develop a "Parallel Geometry for Design and Analysis" (PAGODA) software system. The objective is to create a distributed multi-processor geometry environment to fully support solver requirements for analysis and design on extreme-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) grids. The $683,859 contract aims to extend the existing "Engineering Sketch Pad"...
- This is a $12,500 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded to Gamma Technologies LLC, doing business as G T, by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract is for the provision of the SW - GT SUITE software, which is a multi-physics computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation platform developed by Gamma Technologies. The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating that Gamma Technologies competed in the open market. Gamma Technologies...
- This is a $310,052 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to map and characterize the geometric structures that organize sensitivity to initial conditions in multi-body systems of interest to NASA. This knowledge will be combined with the use...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I action awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to M4 Engineering, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation. The $121,549.00 firm fixed-price contract requires M4 Engineering to investigate the viability of creating a multidisciplinary analysis and optimization (MDAO) architecture for analyzing spacecraft system models using commercial off-the-shelf software. The project aims to develop a generic and scalable...
THE GENERAL MISSION ANALYSIS TOOL (GMAT) IS A STATE OF THE ART SPACECRAFT MISSION DESIGN TOOL UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AT NASA'S GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (GSFC). GMAT IS AN OPEN SOURCE PROJECT, PERIODICALLY RELEASING CODE ON PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE REPOSITORIES. THE TOOL HAS RECENTLY BEEN OPERATIONALLY CERTIFIED FOR USE PLANNING MANEUVERS FOR THE ADVANCED COMPOSITION EXPLORER (ACE). THE CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION OF GMAT IS BUILT ON AN ARCHITECTURE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO SUPPORT MULTIPLE PARALLEL RUNS OF SPACE FLIGHT PROBLEMS ON A DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING PLATFORM. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GMAT, TO DATE, HAS NOT EXERCISED THE FEATURES OF THE DESIGN THAT MAKE PARALLEL PROCESSING AVAILABLE TO USERS. THE GMAT PROGRAM IN ITS CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION RUNS ON A SINGLE EXECUTION THREAD ON MODERN COMPUTER SYSTEMS, EVEN WHEN THOSE SYSTEMS CONTAIN MULTIPLE PROCESSING CORES THAT ALLOW FOR PARALLEL EXECUTION OF OPERATIONS. THINKING SYSTEMS IS EQUIPPED TO UNDERTAKE THE TASK OF CODING COMPONENTS THAT PLUG INTO GMAT'S BASE CODE LIBRARIES IN ORDER TO PRODUCE AN EFFICIENT PARALLELIZATION OF GMAT'S CAPABILITIES. THE PARALLELIZATION OF GMAT WILL BE BUILT BY BUILDING REPLACEMENT ELEMENTS OF SEVERAL COMPONENTS OF GMAT'S CORE CONTROL ENGINE AND BY IMPLEMENTING USER SCRIPTABLE ELEMENTS THAT CAPITALIZE ON THESE CORE COMPONENTS TO PROVIDE PROCESSING ON MULTIPLE THREADS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THINKING SYSTEMS WILL CONSTRUCT THESE COMPONENTS IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THE PARALLEL PROCESSING ENGINE TO RUN USING GMAT'S CORE LIBRARY CODE. THE PARALLEL ENGINE WILL BE BUILT TO WORK ALONGSIDE EXISTING GMAT CODE, AND WILL BE ACCESSED USING A SEPARATE USER INTERFACE TAILORED TO THE PARALLEL ENGINE. EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF PROBLEMS THAT BENEFIT FROM THE PROPOSED SYSTEM ARE PARAMETRIC STUDIES USING SYSTEMATIC CHANGES IN ONE OR MORE PARAMETERS, MONTE CARLO ANALYSIS PROBLEMS, LARGE SCALE TARGETING PROBLEMS, AND DISPERSION ANALYSIS STUDIES
