NASA has selected eight new companies and will acquire new data products from six existing Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition contract holders to expand the range of commercial satellite data available to researchers, civil agencies, and decision-makers. Such measurements supplement NASA\u2019s Earth satellites by contributing high-resolution and frequent observations to enhance the agency\u2019s set of data.<\/p>\n
Leveraging commercial data demonstrates NASA\u2019s commitment to strong public-private partnerships, allowing the agency to expand scientific insight while reducing costs and accelerating the delivery of data to researchers and decision-makers.<\/p>\n
Collectively, NASA and commercial Earth observations provide insight into our home planet \u2013 benefitting Americans, providing environmental intelligence, strengthening disaster response, and improving public safety. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition Program On-Ramp 2 Multiple Award contract is a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery\/indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract. The original maximum contract value was $476 million, with a performance period that began in 2023 and continues through Nov. 15, 2028.<\/p>\n
