GRAVITY Co., Ltd.

THE LUCY SPACECRAFT AND MISSION OPERATIONS CONTRACT EMBODIES THE MISSION'S REQUIREMENT TO DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND OPERATE THE LUCY SPACECRAFT BUS. LUCY WILL EXPLORE SIX JUPITER TROJAN ASTEROIDS TRAPPED BY JUPITERS GRAVITY IN TWO SWARMS THAT SHARE THE PLANETS ORBIT, ONE LEADING AND ONE TRAILING JUPITER IN ITS 12-YEAR CIRCUIT AROUND THE SUN. THE TROJANS ARE THOUGHT TO BE RELICS OF A MUCH EARLIER ERA IN THE HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND MAY HAVE FORMED FAR BEYOND JUPITERS CURRENT ORBIT.

IN PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT, JPL SHALL: 1) SUPPLY A BROAD BASE OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES RELEVANT TO NASA PROGRAM AND PROJECT RESPONSIBILITIES AND ASSIGNMENTS. 2) FOSTER ITS UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH A TOP-TIER UNIVERSITY TO FACILITATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, AND STUDENTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY AND RESEARCH COMMUNITIES IN NASA MISSION AND IN SUPPORTING OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. 3) SUPPORT NASA IN ENABLING PROGRAM AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPABILITIES. 4) DEVELOP SPACECRAFT AND INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE SENT TO VARIOUS DESTINATIONS WITH OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, INCLUDING EARTH ORBIT, PLANETS, PLANETARY SATELLITES, ASTEROIDS, AND COMETS. THESE MISSIONS MAY BE ORBITERS, LANDERS, OR ROVERS, AND TYPICALLY INCLUDE CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES REQUIRED TO MEET SCIENTIFIC REQUIREMENTS. 5) PERFORM PROJECT TASKS INVOLVING: (I) AUTONOMOUS DEEP-SPACE, INNER-SPACE AND EARTH-ORBITING SPACECRAFT OR MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS, (II) EXPERIMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, OR OTHER DEVICES WHICH MAY BE CARRIED AS PAYLOAD ON SPACECRAFTS IN MISSIONS MANAGED BY OTHERS, AND/OR (III) GROUND-BASED SYSTEMS. 6) BEYOND ITS PRIMARY MISSION, JPL MAY PERFORM WORK FOR OTHER NASA MISSION DIRECTORATES OR OFFICES. 7) JPL IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION, RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY INSERTION, AND MANAGEMENT OF NASA S DEEP SPACE NETWORK TO PROVIDE TELECOMMUNICATION AND OPERATION SERVICES, INCLUDING DATA ACQUISITION AND DATA DELIVERY REQUIRED TO MEET ESTABLISHED AGENCY OBJECTIVES. 8) JPL IS ALSO REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN AND CONDUCT AN EDUCATION PROGRAM IN CLOSE COORDINATION WITH THE NASA HEADQUARTERS EDUCATION OFFICE, THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY AT LARGE, AND IN SUPPORT TO NASA STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES TO IMPROVE STUDENT RETENTION IN THE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) DISCIPLINES. WORK FOR NON-NASA SPONSORS: JPL MAY PERFORM WORK FOR NON-NASA SPONSORS. THIS WORK WILL BE DESIGNATED IN TASK ORDERS ISSUED BY NMO CONTRACTING OFFICERS BASED ON TASK PLANS INITIATED BY THE CONTRACTOR.

IGF::CL::IGF FLIGHT DYNAMICS SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDE FOR THE PLANNING, DESIGNING, IMPLEMENTATION, ENHANCEMENT, EVALUATION, INTEGRATION, TESTING AND CONDUCTING OF THE FLIGHT DYNAMICS SERVICES AND SYSTEMS PROVIDED AT GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (GSFC) FOR THE NAVIGATION AND MISSION DESIGN BRANCH (NMDB) AND THE ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING BRANCH (ACSEB) WITHIN THE MISSION ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS ANALYSIS (MESA) DIVISION AT GSFC. THE NAVIGATION AND MISSION DESIGN BRANCH (NMDB) AND THE ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING BRANCH (ACSEB) WITHIN THE MISSION ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS ANALYSIS (MESA) DIVISION AT GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (GSFC) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING ANALYTIC AND OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE FOR ORBIT AND ATTITUDE SYSTEMS, DYNAMICS MODELING, CONTROL ANALYSES, AND ESTIMATION AND SIMULATION OF SPACE VEHICLES. THE BRANCHES CREATE AND MAINTAIN STATE-OF-THE-ART ANALYSIS TOOLS FOR MISSION DESIGN, TRAJECTORY OPTIMIZATION, ORBIT ANALYSIS, NAVIGATION, ATTITUDE DETERMINATION, AND CONTROLS ANALYSIS. THE BRANCHES ALSO PROVIDE THE EXPERTISE TO SUPPORT A WIDE RANGE OF FLIGHT DYNAMICS SERVICES, SUCH AS SPACECRAFT MISSION DESIGN, ON-ORBIT SENSOR CALIBRATION, LAUNCH SUPPORT, AND ORBIT OPERATIONS. AN ACTIVE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IS MAINTAINED, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON DEVELOPING NEW TECHNIQUES AND ALGORITHMS FOR AUTONOMOUS ORBIT/ATTITUDE SYSTEMS AND ADVANCED APPROACHES FOR TRAJECTORY DESIGN THE NMDB FLIGHT DYNAMICS SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDE FOR THE PLANNING, DESIGNING, IMPLEMENTATION, ENHANCEMENT, EVALUATION, INTEGRATION, TESTING AND CONDUCTING OF THE FLIGHT DYNAMICS SERVICES AND SYSTEMS PROVIDED AT GSFC. THE FLIGHT DYNAMICS DISCIPLINES INCLUDE SPACECRAFT NAVIGATION (ORBIT DETERMINATION), TRAJECTORY CONTROL, MISSION DESIGN, ATTITUDE DETERMINATION, ATTITUDE DYNAMICS AND ATTITUDE CONTROL. UNIQUE MISSION SUPPORT AND NETWORK SERVICES ARE ALSO PROVIDED. FLIGHT DYNAMICS MISSION SUPPORT EFFORTS INVOLVE THE DETERMINATION OF MISSION FLIGHT DYNAMICS REQUIREMENTS AND THE PLANNING NECESSARY TO SATISFY THE MISSION/PROJECT NEEDS. TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IS PERFORMED IN THE AREAS OF NAVIGATION, TRAJECTORY DESIGN AND FLIGHT DYNAMICS AUTOMATION. FLIGHT REGIMES SUPPORTED INCLUDE SINGLE SATELLITE AND SATELLITE FORMATIONS IN LOW-EARTH, HIGH-EARTH, GRAVITY ASSIST, LIBRATION POINT, NON-EARTH PLANETARY AND INTERPLANETARY ORBIT. OPERATIONAL FACILITY MODERNIZATION PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND SUSTAINING SERVICES ARE ALSO PROVIDED. OPERATIONS SUPPORT IS PRIMARILY PROVIDED THROUGH THE NMDB'S FLIGHT DYNAMICS FACILITY (FDF). THIS CONTRACT IS TO PROVIDE THE EFFORTS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FLIGHT DYNAMICS ANALYSIS, OPERATIONS, SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT FOR THE NMDB AND ACSEB.
