NASA selected Science Systems and Applications, Inc.
\n(SSAI), of Lanham, Md., for a $67.1 million contract to
\nsupport the Laboratory for Terrestrial Physics at NASA’s
\nGoddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. <\/p>\n
\nUnder terms of the cost-plus-award-fee contract, SSAI will
\nprovide the Terrestrial Physics Laboratory at Goddard with
\nsupport services, including research, computing, science
\ninstrumentation, administration, and calibration and
\nvalidation. <\/p>\n
\nSubcontractors to SSAI under this effort are Decision Systems
\nTechnologies, Inc., of Rockville, Md., and Science
\nApplications International Corporation in Beltsville, Md. <\/p>\n
\nThe contract is a 100-percent small-business set-aside
\nprocurement. <\/p>\n
\nThe Laboratory for Terrestrial Physics advances NASA’s
\nmission of understanding and protecting our home planet
\nthrough the exploration of the physics and dynamics of the
\nEarth, as well as of other planets and their satellites. The
\nLab’s innovative programs study the global properties of the
\nsolid Earth, global- and regional-scale vegetation
\nmonitoring, biosphere-atmosphere interactions, and laser
\nremote sensing. <\/p>\n
\nThe Lab defines, designs, builds and demonstrates instruments
\nfor Earth and planetary remote-sensing science programs and
\ndevelops reliable, low-cost computing systems important for
\nthe production, distribution and analysis of regional and
\nglobal data sets. More information about the Laboratory is on
\ntheir Web site at: <\/p>\n
