NASA has selected eight new companies and will acquire new data products from six existing Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition contract holders as it expands the range of commercial satellite data available to researchers, civil agencies, and decision-makers.
The agency said the commercial measurements are intended to supplement NASA\u2019s Earth-observing satellites by providing higher-resolution and more frequent observations.
The awards fall under the Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition Program On-Ramp 2 Multiple Award contract, described by NASA as a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery\/indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract. NASA said the original maximum contract value was US$476 million, with a performance period that began in 2023 and runs through Nov. 15, 2028.
Contract awardees are: Airbus DS Geo Inc.; GHGSat Inc.; Hydrosat Inc.; ICEYE US Inc.; ImageSat International; Kuva US Inc.; Muon Space Inc.; Orbital Sidekick Inc.; OroraTech USA Inc.; Planet Labs Federal Inc.; Space Sciences and Engineering LLC (doing business as PlanetiQ); SATLANTIS US; Tomorrow Companies Inc. (doing business as Tomorrow.io); and Wyvern Inc.
NASA said its Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition mission is aimed at augmenting and complementing Earth observations captured by NASA and its partners by identifying, evaluating, and acquiring commercial satellite data.
