This federal contract award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, was made to Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc. (AMA), a small business, to investigate continuation methods to improve the robustness of trajectory design algorithms for spacecraft in highly perturbed dynamical environments. The $124,986 firm-fixed-price contract is part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I. The research aims to benefit NASA and the space trajectory design community by enabling the design of high-fidelity trajectories with true ephemerides and force fields. AMA has been awarded numerous prime federal contracts and grants to support NASA's mission objectives, as well as subcontracts under larger prime contracts in the aerospace and defense sectors. The company holds several significant federal contract Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with NASA, including an $84 million single-award IDC with the Ames Research Center and a $1.46 billion single-award IDC with the Langley Research Center.
