AI Contract Overview
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals for the acquisition of the Landsat 10 Spacecraft under RFP 80GSFC26R0015, with responses due by August 13, 2026. This solicitation replaces the previous draft RFP issued in May 2026 and is intended to secure a spacecraft system capable of delivering continuous, high-quality multi-spectral imagery for at least five years. The mission will operate from a 653-kilometer sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit and is designed to collect Visible to Shortwave-Infrared and Thermal Infrared data with a 26-band instrument suite, achieving a ground sampling distance of 10 to 60 meters and a swath width of approximately 164 kilometers. NASA will provide the space segment and launch services, while the U.S. Geological Survey will manage the ground system and mission operations. The spacecraft must meet stringent environmental requirements outlined in the Space Environmental Requirements Document, covering radiation, space charging, magnetics, atomic oxygen, and micrometeoroid/debris exposure, and must adhere to applicable standards such as MIL-STD-883 for microcircuits. The acquisition includes extensive technical deliverables governed by a series of attachments detailing critical interfaces and analytical models: the Spacecraft-to-Ground Interface Requirement Document, Payload-to-Launch Services Interface Description Document, Space Environmental Requirements Document, and Analytical Math Model Definitions, which require 3D CAD, thermal, structural, dynamic, and attitude control models to be submitted for verification. Government-furnished equipment and services are clearly delineated with precise timelines, including launch umbilical connectors and electrical interface connectors due at L-18 months, payload processing facility access from L-60 days through L+7 days, and propellant delivery one month prior to launch. The launch services provider support is tied to the observatory’s mechanical testing schedule, with select services required no earlier than 12 months before launch. All analytical models, including those for the spacecraft and instrument, must be delivered to the Landsat 10 Project Office. The solicitation includes key reference documents such as the Design Reference Case DRC-18 and the World Reference System-3 Definition to ensure consistent data alignment with the Landsat archive. No set-aside provisions apply, the NAICS code is 336414, and the contracting office is located in Greenbelt,
