This federal contract award to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, is focused on developing methodologies to enable human presence and transportation in cislunar space - the region between the Earth and Moon. The research aims to provide NASA with trajectory design approaches, targeting methods, and mission planning tools to support missions like the Deep Space Gateway (DSG) and Deep Space Transport (DST). This work is critical for expanding human activity beyond low-Earth orbit and establishing a more permanent presence in deep space. The $233,752 award does not have a set-aside designation and was made by NASA's Shared Services Center. As a leading research university, Purdue has extensive experience supporting government missions across space, defense, energy, and other domains through both contracts and grants.
