NASA Awards Space Flight Projects Contract

The U.S. space agency says it has awarded a $94.5 million space flight projects contract to Zin Technologies Inc. of Middleburg Heights, Ohio.

The contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s John Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is for the definition, design, fabrication, assembly, integration, testing and operation of a broad array of space flight projects.

The total value of the cost-plus-incentive-fee, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract includes a three-year base period of performance and two one-year options. The contract is to begin this month.

“Zin will perform unique International Space Station flight investigations in the physical sciences, advanced technology development and flight investigations for human research,” NASA said. “Other investigations include advanced technology development and demonstrations in power, space communications, lunar surface and in-situ resource applications, in-space propulsion, spacecraft fire safety and energy storage and distribution.”
