About this IDV
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded an Other Transaction IDV to Astroscale US Inc. on November 9, 2021. With a potential value of $749,898, this IDV aims to develop a novel hyperspectral sensor for spacecraft rendezvous and proximity operations as well as inspection. No set-aside was used for this award.
The IDV seeks to procure a hyperspectral sensor capable of supporting spacecraft inspection and rendezvous operations. Hyperspectral imaging analyzes reflected or emitted light across a wide spectrum of wavelengths to detect materials. This technology could allow spacecraft to remotely identify other vehicles, debris, or components during proximity flights. By developing a small, lightweight sensor suitable for integration on rendezvous spacecraft, this award aims to advance capabilities for on-orbit inspection and debris monitoring. Places of performance are expected to include the awardee's facilities.
This IDV provides a vehicle for Astroscale US Inc. to develop technologies supporting the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's initiatives in on-orbit autonomy. Follow-on task orders issued against the IDV framework will fund further sensor prototyping and testing. Once demonstrated, this novel hyperspectral solution could enhance capabilities for safe and effective spacecraft proximity operations in low Earth orbit.
