Spacecraft Optical Navigation and Autonomy Modules

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to negotiate and award a firm-fixed-price contract to EraDrive, Inc. for the acquisition of spacecraft autonomy modules. The modules are integrated hardware and software systems providing vision-based, Global Positioning System (GPS) independent positioning, navigation, and timing. The contract also includes nonrecurring engineering and engineering support services. • The modules must provide GPS-independent optical PNT, autonomous onboard maneuver planning, and resident space object detection and orbit determination. • The contractor must have the rights and technical data necessary to produce and deliver flight-qualified modules without Government-furnished proprietary information. • The contractor must be able to meet the delivery schedule. • The Government encourages sources with emerging or developing capabilities in this area to respond so that their interest and capabilities may be considered in market research for any future requirement.
