LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION - INTERFACE REGION IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH (IRIS). THE CONTRACTOR SHALL REFINE AND EVOLVE THE CONTRACTOR'S COST ESTIMATE FOR PHASES B-F FOR THE INTERFACE REGION IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH (IRIS) MISSION SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO NASA ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY #NNH07ZDA003O FOR THE EXPLORERS PROJECTS DIVISION. THE PRIMARY TASKS IN PHASE B WILL INCLUDE THE GENERATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS REVIEW (SRR) AND THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW (PDR). IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THESE REVIEWS, THE CONCEPT DEFINITION EFFORTS SHALL ENCOMPASS THE WORK REQUIRED TO UPDATE AND REFINE THE PROPOSAL'S SCIENCE INVESTIGATION OBJECTIVES AND PLANS (IF NECESSARY), INSTRUMENT AND SPACECRAFT CONCEPTS AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS, AND SCIENCE OPERATIONS AND FLIGHT OPERATIONS PLANS AND CONCEPTS. THESE EFFORTS SHALL IDENTIFY THE CONDITIONS AND CONSTRAINTS NECESSARY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED IRIS MISSION APPROACH. THE CONTRACTOR'S MISSION INTEGRATION EFFORTS SHALL INCLUDE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF THE IRIS OBSERVATORY ONTO THE LAUNCH VEHICLE. THE CONTRACTOR'S PHASE B PRELIMINARY DESIGN EFFORTS SHALL DEVELOP THE CSR AND SITE VISIT CONCEPTS INTO A PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND DEFINITION OF THE IRIS MISSION, INCLUDING ITS MISSION OPERATIONS CENTER (MOC) AND SCIENCE OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC). THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW (PDR) SHALL BE HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH NPR 7120.5D, NPR 7123.1A, AND GSFC STD 1001B. THE CONTRACTOR'S EFFORTS IN PHASE B SHALL FORM THE BASIS FOR FINAL CONFIRMATION OF THE REMAINDER OF THE IRIS DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONAL PHASES (C, D, E AND F). DETAILED COST AND SCHEDULE ESTIMATES SHALL BE PREPARED AND SUBMITTED DURING PHASE B, WHICH DEFINES THE CONTRACTOR'S UPDATED BUDGET FOR PHASE B AND THE PLANNED BUDGETS FOR PHASE C, D, E AND F WORK. PERIODIC TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC INTERCHANGE MEETINGS AT BOTH THE CONTRACTOR'S FACILITY AND AT GSFC SHALL BE REQUIRED TO COORDINATE EFFORTS BETWEEN THE CONTRACTOR AND THE EXPLORERS PROJECTS OFFICE. THESE MAY BE CONDUCTED AS FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS OR TELECONFERENCES, AS REQUIRED.

IGF::CT::IGF RS-25 PRODUCTION RESTART TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE CONTRACTOR IN SUPPORT OF PROVIDING SIX RS-25 ENGINES MODIFIED AS NECESSARY FOR THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM, RECERTIFICATION OF PRODUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS IN MANUFACTURING, AND CERTIFICATION FOR FLIGHT PROGRAM.

IGF::OT::IGF HUMAN HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE CONTRACT

KBR WYLE SERVICES, LLC

IGF::OT::IGF NEXTSTEP NRA AWARD. THIS NEXTSTEP CONTRACT BUILDS UPON THE SUCCESS OF COMMERCIAL ORBITAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SPACE ACT AGREEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND AN EXISTING INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) COMMERCIAL RESUPPLY SERVICES (CRS) CONTRACT. ORBITAL HAS SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED FROM COTS TO THE CRS PROGRAM, FLYING THREE VERY SUCCESSFUL PRESSURIZED CARGO RESUPPLY MISSIONS TO THE ISS, USING THE CYGNUS SPACECRAFT. ORBITAL ALSO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED SPACECRAFT FOR SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION TO INCLUDE THE CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL DAWN MISSION. THIS MISSION WAS LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2007, COMPLETED ITS RENDEZVOUS MISSION AT VESTA IN JULY 2012 AND IS EN ROUTE TO CERES IN EARLY 2015. WITH SPACE AGENCY BUDGETS CONTINUING TO BE TIGHT, EXPLORATION PLANS NEED TO EMPHASIZE EVOLUTION OF EXISTING SYSTEMS, WHERE COST AND SCHEDULE IS BETTER CONTROLLED, AND DEVELOPMENT RISK REDUCED. SPECIFICALLY, ELEMENTS OF THE CURRENT ISS, INCLUDING CYGNUS, CAN BE EVOLVED TO SUPPORT MORE DISTANT SPACE DESTINATIONS. TO SUPPORT THESE ENDEAVORS, ORBITAL CONTRIBUTES TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT OF CYGNUS AND TO NEXTSTEP ACTIVITIES AND HAVE INVESTED IN THE COTS CRS PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ENDEAVOR. ORBITAL'S EXPLORATION AUGMENTATION MODULE (BAM) ARCHITECTURE USES A MODULAR, BUILDING BLOCK APPROACH THAT LEVERAGES THE CYGNUS SPACECRAFT TO EXPAND CISLUNAR AND LONG DURATION DEEP SPACE TRANSIT HABITATION CAPABILITIES AND TECHNOLOGIES CRITICAL TO NASAS LONG-TERM EXPLORATION GOALS. ORBITALS ARCHITECTURE CONCEPT BLENDS IN-PRODUCTION HARDWARE WITH ADAPTATION, EVOLUTION, PLANNING, AND FORWARD THINKING. CYGNUS WILL SERVE AS A MODULAR HABITAT AND TEST PLATFORM FOR QUALIFYING TECHNOLOGIES IN A DISTANT RETROGRADE ORBIT (DRO) OR IN A LOW EARTH ORBIT (LEO), EITHER WHILE ATTACHED TO THE ISS OR AS A FREE-FLYER. USING THE EXISTING, OPERATIONAL CYGNUS TO PERFORM THESE MISSIONS HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF DECREASING OVERALL DEVELOPMENT TIME AND COSTS, AND FREEING UP RESOURCES THAT WOULD BE SPENT ON DEVELOPING A SPACECRAFT TO FOCUS ON CULTIVATING MISSION ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE A CYGNUS DERIVED EAM DEPLOYED IN CISLUNAR SPACE BEFORE 2020. THIS SPACECRAFT WILL BE THE FIRST BUILDING BLOCK IN SUPPORTING BOTH COMMERCIAL MARKETS AND GOVERNMENT OBJECTIVES. THE PROPOSED EFFORT FOR THIS NEXTSTEP BAA PHASE I, INVOLVES DEFINING AN EAM ARCHITECTURE AND CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS (CONOPS) THAT ADDRESSES COMMERCIAL MARKETS AND NASA EXPLORATION OBJECTIVES, TECHNOLOGY MATURATION PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND TO IDENTIFY TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED AND DEMONSTRATED IN THE ISSILEO ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS. TO MATURE HABITATION TECHNOLOGIES, THE CONTRACTOR WILL IDENTIFY STATE OF THE ART (SOA) TECHNOLOGIES ACROSS NASA TECHNOLOGY AREAS (TAS) DEFINED IN THE NASA TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP. FOCUS WILL BE ON MATURATION OF THE FOLLOWING TECHNOLOGIES ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AND LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING SAFETY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND HABITATION THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AUTONOMOUS HABITATION SYSTEMS NAVIGATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT DOCKING AND CAPTURE MECHANISMS AND DEPLOYABLE HABITATION ELEMENTS
