NASA seeks R&D proposals for Ka-band relay system under NextSTEP-3.
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center seeks proposals for the NEXUS Ka-Band Backward-Compatible Relay BAA under NextSTEP-3 Appendix E. The procurement aims to develop a relay system for user continuity and sustainability, focusing on Ka-band backward-compatible technology. This is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research and development, not a standard procurement. Offerors must demonstrate relevant experience in space communications and relay systems. The contract type and value are not specified, but the NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) indicates a research-focused effort. The place of performance is Huntsville, Alabama.
