An Airbus affiliate has signed a $50 million contract to develop a power system for the crew module Northrop Grumman will build to function as a key component of NASA’s Gateway lunar space station. Crisa, which operates under Airbus’ defense and space division, will produce the power management and distribution technology for integration into the […] More
Maxar Technologies and Natick, Massachusetts-based space propulsion technology maker Busek have concluded hot fire tests for a solar electric propulsion component for NASA's planned lunar Gateway. Busek said Wednesday the fire test validates all parts of the Power and Propulsion Element's SEP subsystem that will help handle the Gateway's maneuvering, communications and attitude control functions in lunar orbit to support missions like the Artemis program.
NASA and Maxar Technologies have reviewed programmatic and technical requirements for the power and propulsion element of the agency's planned Gateway base on the moon.
Northrop Grumman has unveiled plans for the central module of NASA's Lunar Gateway, including the module's planned launch with Maxar Technologies' Power and Propulsion Element from a spaceport in Florida by 2023, the NASASpaceflight website reported Friday.
Maxar Technologies has partnered with NASA to explore the development of an unmanned space station that will house scientific instruments while in synchronous low-earth orbit.
Tim Cole, program manager for the power and propulsion element at Maxar Technologies, said in an interview published Monday that the company wrapped up the two-day systems requirements review of the PPE at its Palo Alto, Calif.-based facility to assess and document the platform's technical requirements.
Maxar Technologies has tasked Deployable Space Systems to produce flexible solar arrays for NASA's Gateway, a future space facility that will serve as an outpost for astronauts, Space News reported Thursday.
Dynetics and Maxar Technologies will collaborate to build a platform intended to support maneuvering, communications, attitude control and initial docking functions of NASA's planned lunar gateway.
A source selection statement issued by NASA Thursday shows that price and contract terms were the factors that helped Maxar Technologies win a $375M contract to build and demonstrate a power and propulsion element for the agency's proposed lunar Gateway space station, SpaceNews reported Friday.
Some industry officials say NASA should have a contract in place within the following twelve months for the design of a “utilization“ or “mini-hab“ module of its proposed Gateway lunar space station in order to achieve its aim of landing astronauts on the surface of the moon by 2024, SpaceNews reported Monday.
NASA has issued the final solicitation for proposals to develop a power and propulsion element of the Gateway program. The agency's proposed Gateway will serve as the orbital outpost for manned and robotic exploration missions to the moon, Mars and other deep space destinations, NASA said Thursday. “We believe partnering with U.S. industry for the […] More
Aerojet Rocketdyne and Sierra Nevada Corp. have concluded a four-month study that focused on modifying advanced solar electric propulsion vehicle concepts for future human exploration missions and deep space habitation. Sacramento, Calif.-based Aerojet said Wednesday it supplemented Sierra Nevada's Lunar Gateway concept with an SEP module for the Power and Propulsion Element study under NASA's Next […] More
