About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a single source determination to The Aerospace Corporation for specialized research services related to spaceflight emissions simulation and atmospheric impact analysis. The 12-month firm-fixed-price contract, numbered 1305M325P0313 and awarded on September 16, 2025, supports NOAA's Earth's Radiation Budget (ERB) Program by creating an authoritative database of rocket and reentry emissions, developing improved atmospheric aerosol injection models, and analyzing the environmental impacts of the growing space industry. The scope of work includes producing comprehensive inventories of global launches and reentries with detailed gaseous and particulate emissions data, collaborating with NOAA researchers on spaceflight emission descriptions for global atmosphere models, and assisting in interpreting model simulations and measurement campaign data. NOAA justified the sole source award based on The Aerospace Corporation's unique status as a nonprofit Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) exclusively dedicated to space enterprise, possessing specialized expertise in stratospheric space industry emissions that cannot be easily duplicated by other organizations. While the specific contract value was redacted from the available documentation, the award represents a strategic partnership to advance scientific understanding of how the expanding commercial space industry affects Earth's atmospheric systems.
