CubeSat Propulsion and Deployment Mechanism Supply

The contract involves the supply or integration of propulsion systems and deployment mechanisms specifically designed for CubeSats. A critical requirement is that these systems must ensure a safe release of the CubeSats, with tip-off rates maintained below 10 degrees per second to guarantee controlled deployment. This work focuses on delivering reliable technology that meets stringent safety and performance standards for small satellite missions. Issued by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the subcontract is associated with NAICS code 334519, indicating it pertains to other measuring and controlling device manufacturing or similar aerospace components. The place of performance is in Huntsville, and proposals are due by the end of May 2026, giving prospective contractors just over a month to respond. This opportunity targets suppliers capable of contributing advanced propulsion and deployment solutions critical to the success of CubeSat deployments in space.
