This federal contract award to Busek Co., Inc., a small business based in Natick, Massachusetts, is for the development of the "ASTROCUBE" mission - a robotic resource prospecting mission to a near-Earth asteroid using a 6U CubeSat platform. The key elements of the mission include Busek's iodine-fueled BIT-3 RF ion propulsion system, which will provide the CubeSat with approximately 3.1 km/s of delta-V to rendezvous with the target asteroid, 2001 GP2. The mission will also leverage innovative technologies such as a compact camera-lidar device and a neutron spectrometer to survey and characterize the asteroid. This STTR Phase I contract, awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center, has a ceiling value of $124,993. Busek has also been awarded an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract by DARPA for the Thruster Advancements for Low-Altitude Operations in Space (TALOS) program, which is not set aside and has a ceiling value of $999,099.
