Control Center and Mission Telemetry Systems

The contract requires the establishment and operation of a control center equipped with real-time bi-directional audio, video, and data telemetry capabilities, designed to interface directly with NASA Johnson Space Center’s mission control in Houston. The system must support latency simulation to replicate actual space mission communication delays, ensuring accurate training and operational readiness for mission teams. Connectivity with JSC’s existing infrastructure is mandatory, requiring seamless integration of hardware and software systems to enable synchronized data flow and command coordination between ground and space assets. The control center must be fully functional and capable of continuous operation under mission-critical conditions, with robust redundancy and failover mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted telemetry transmission and reception. Performance will be evaluated based on system reliability, latency accuracy, and interoperability with NASA’s mission control standards. All work must be performed at the designated place of performance in Houston, Texas, with adherence to NASA’s technical and security requirements. The opportunity is posted as a subcontract under NAICS code 518210, with responses due by August 21, 2026, and is intended for capable providers with proven experience in aerospace telemetry and mission support systems.
