Nasa, on behahalf of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (noaa), has awarded a delivery Order to Bae Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc. of bounder, colorado, to build spacecraft for the lagrange 1 series project as a part of Noaa's Space Weather Next Program,
The award made under the rapid spacecraft account iv contract, has a total value of approximately $ 230.6 million with the period of performance of performance from februry 2025 to februry 2025 to februry 2035. Will take place at the awardee's facility in bounder.
The Firm-Fixed-Price Delivery Order Covers All Phases of the Lagrange 1 Series Project Operations Including Developing Up to Two Spacecraft, Instruction, Instruction, Satellite-Level Testing, Training, Training and Support for the Spacecraft Flight Operations Team, and Mission Operations Support. Rapid IV Contracts Serve as a Fast and Flexible means for the government to Acquire spacecraft and related components, Equipments, Equipments, and Services in Support of Nasa Mies and in other Federal Government Seconds.
The space weather next program will maintain and extend space weather observations from various orbitally stable points such as such as lagrange 1, which is about a Million Miles from The first space weather next lagrange 1 series launch, planned in 2029, will be the first observatorial under the program and will provide continuity of continuity of continuity of coronal imagery and upstream sol. Measurements. Space weather next will provide uninterrupted data continuity when noaa's space weather follow on lagrange 1 mission comas to its end of operations.
Observations of the Sun and the Near-Earth Space Environment Are Important to Protecting Our Technological Infrastructure Both on the ground and in space. The spacecraft will provide critical data to noaa's space weather prediction center which isesues forecasts, warnings and alerts that help mitigate space weather impacts, inclurg Outages and interruption to communications and Navigation Systems.
Nasa and noaa oversee the development, launch, testing, and operation of all the satellites in the lagrange 1 series project. Noaa is the program owner providing the requirements and funding along managing the program, operations, data products, and disasmination to users. Nasa and Its Commercial Partners Develop and Build The Instruments, Spacecraft, and Provide Launch Services on Behahalf of Noaa.
