Autonomous Space-Based Situational Awareness Software Development - Starling Mission Follow-On

The NASA/ARC has a requirement for software development services to support the NASA Starling formation-flying mission. The contractor will develop and deliver software upgrades enabling autonomous swarm space situational awareness and control for four 6U CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The scope of work includes resident space object identification and tracking, autonomous orbit determination, swarm geometry maintenance and reconfiguration, onboard conjunction assessment, and multi-satellite autonomous orbit determination using optical sensors. • The software shall execute autonomously on-orbit using the CubeSats' existing computational resources. • The period of performance is from the date of award through January 20, 2027. • NASA/ARC intends to issue a sole-source contract to acquire these services from EraDrive, Inc. • Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Joshua Taggart, Contracting Officer.
