- Description
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for continued support for the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) Mission. As a result of the 2025 Astrophysics Senior Review of Operating Missions, NASA Science Mission Directorate Astrophysics Division has provided budgetary guidance to MSFC to extend the IXPE mission and Phase E science operation contracts through FY28. The review of operating missions is NASA-s highest form of peer review, as the subject is not a single science investigation, or even a single space mission, but rather a portfolio of operating missions.
NASA/MSFC intends to procure continued uninterrupted support for an additional three years on a sole-source basis under the current BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems, Inc. contract. The IXPE contract was initially awarded as a result of NASA Headquarters Announcement of Opportunity (AO) NNH14ZDA0130, Astrophysics Explorers Program 2014 Small Explorer and is managed by MSFC under the NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate.
The scope of work covered under the BAE System contract includes, but is not limited to providing the personnel, materials, hardware, software and services needed to operate and maintain the IXPE observatory for Phase E science operations through decommissioning. This includes observatory commanding, health and safety monitoring, mission planning, sustained spacecraft engineering support, flight software maintenance, and anomaly resolution. The IXPE mission operations center also provides the interface to the MSFC Science Operations Center and delivers stored science data and relevant spacecraft housekeeping data obtained from the S-band real-time and playback telemetry.
