CACI wins contract to continue its support of spaceflight systems, simulation, software for JSC
CACI has recently received a contract from NASA for Human Spaceflight Systems, Simulation, and Software Technology III. As per the contract terms, CACI will provide technical services and support to aid NASA in its space exploration mission. This contract will also help CACI enhance its proficiency in the space exploration industry.
CACI has been awarded a four-year single-award, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity expertise contract worth up to $150 million to continue its support of spaceflight systems, simulation, and software for NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC). The program aims to provide advanced aerospace engineering for crewed spacecraft systems, development of simulation and Virtual Reality (VR) applications, and software in support of human space flight. The contract builds on more than three decades of CACI’s dedicated support for JSC’s mission.
According to John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, "This award demonstrates CACI’s proven expertise in supporting advanced systems for human spaceflight and space vehicles. We look forward to continuing this work and offering full-spectrum engineering and software solutions as NASA’s trusted provider.”
CACI will perform the work on this contract in the Houston area with JSC’s Engineering Directorate, primarily the Software, Robotics, and Simulation Division. The company will provide aerospace systems engineering and analysis support across a range of spacecraft systems including robotics and dynamics, guidance, navigation, and control, avionics, and power. Support will include developing software applications for in-flight systems, high-fidelity modeling and simulation, and VR graphics used to model spacecraft and the space environment for engineering analyses and astronaut extravehicular activity training.
