All NASA Contracts — April 04, 2026

Long-term definitive cost-no-fee contract for space science R&D instrument design, development, and support through 2027-09-30, with $25,928,889 outlayed to date.

Only $25,928,889 outlayed to date against $181,839,613 obligation for The Leland Stanford Junior University NASA contract, indicating slow spending pace over 25-year period.

Extended 25-year performance period (to 2027-09-30) for Stanford's HMI instrument post-launch support introduces potential delays in full obligation realization.

The Leland Stanford Junior University positioned for ~$7.3M annual revenue from ongoing $181,839,613 NASA obligation through 2027.

Goddard Space Flight Center's $181,839,613 cost-no-fee award to The Leland Stanford Junior University exemplifies sustained civilian investment in space science/applications (PSC AR22, NAICS 541710) spanning 25 years.
