About this IDV
This Other Transaction (OT) Multiple Award IDV was awarded to Capella Space Corp on March 10, 2017, by the Washington Headquarters Service (Defense) with a ceiling value of $10,625,522.00 and no set-aside designation. The contract was awarded without a specific performance period ceiling date but was subsequently modified at no cost to extend the period of performance through December 31, 2020. The primary objective of this prototype project award was the development, technical feasibility determination, and delivery of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) micro-satellite imagery technology. As the prime contractor, Capella Space Corp was tasked with advancing SAR satellite technology to support government operational requirements and establish the technical foundation for commercial SAR data acquisition services.
The deliverables under this IDV encompassed the development and demonstration of SAR micro-satellite systems capable of generating high-resolution satellite imagery for Earth observation applications. The prototype project focused on validating the technical feasibility of Capella's SAR constellation approach, which would subsequently support national defense, space domain awareness, and scientific research missions across multiple federal agencies. This OT award was instrumental in establishing Capella Space Corp's capability to provide persistent SAR imagery data products and services, ultimately enabling the company's transition to larger indefinite delivery contracts with the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Defense Information Systems Agency valued in the hundreds of millions to billions of dollars for operational SAR data acquisition and analysis services.
