What the model surfaced from this award
Design, develop, fabricate, test, and operate the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager instrument for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft.
HMI is a critical solar physics instrument enabling understanding of solar magnetic fields and dynamics that drive space weather affecting Earth.
Large contract signals demand for precision optical, electronic, and software components from aerospace-qualified suppliers and integration services.
Solar observation capabilities support U.S. space science leadership and independent space weather forecasting independent of foreign reliance.
