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

NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER'S (GSFC) GOAL FOR THE SPACE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS SERVICES CONTRACT (SCNS) IS TO ENABLE MISSION SUCCESS FOR EVERY CUSTOMER USING SCNS SERVICES. KEY OBJECTIVES OF THE SCNS CONTRACT ARE TO DECREASE COST AND MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND RELIABILITY, WHILE MAINTAINING AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF RISK AND PROVIDING FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE MISSIONS. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL IMPLEMENT A SAFETY, HEALTH, AND MISSION ASSURANCE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES A SAFE AND HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT, MINIMIZES PROGRAM RISK, AND MAXIMIZES NASA MISSION SUCCESS. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACHIEVING THE REQUIRED RESULTS. CORE REQUIREMENT FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT, QUALITY ASSURANCE, ETC. ARE REQUIRED TO SUPPORT IDIQ TASK ORDERS. THE SPACE NETWORK (SN) IS COMPRISED OF A FLEET OF ON-ORBIT TRACKING AND DATA RELAY SATELLITES (TDRS) AND ASSOCIATED GROUND SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES. THE NATURE OF THE SN ARCHITECTURE, I.E., EXTREMELY LARGE CAPITAL INVESTMENT, CONTRACTOR OPERATED FACILITIES, CONTINUOUS 24X7 REQUIREMENTS, ETC., LENDS ITSELF TO A CORE REQUIREMENTS APPROACH. THE GROUND NETWORK (GN) CONSISTS OF AN ORBITAL TRACKING NETWORK AND THE SATELLITE LASER RANGING NETWORK. THE NATURE OF THE GROUND NETWORK ARCHITECTURE, I.E., DIVERSE MIX OF COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT ASSETS, EVOLVING GEOGRAPHIC AND TECHNICAL CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS, AND LEGACY SYSTEMS, ETC. LENDS ITSELF TO AN IDIQ APPROACH. OTHER ACTIVITIES, I.E., VERY LONG BASELINE INTERFEROMETRY NETWORK OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&M), ELECTRONIC SYSTEM TEST LABORATORY, REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPMENT, HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, ETC. ARE BEST SUITED TO AN IDIQ APPROACH IN THE RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED ENVIRONMENT THAT NASA OPERATES IN.
