NASA’s Earth Science Division has awarded a five-year blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to Capella Space, an American space tech company and the world’s leading provider of commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. The BPA will allow NASA to purchase high-resolution SAR imagery and data from Capella Space for evaluation to determine their suitability for advancing NASA’s science and application goals. The agreement will facilitate fixed price call-off contracts valued up to $7 million per call, effective for five years from the date of the agreement. This BPA is funded by the Earth Science Division of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in support of NASA’s Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program. Imagery procured under this agreement will provide NASA’s Earth Science Division with additional perspective for scientific research of Earth’s interconnected systems, enhancing existing NASA datasets.
