The principal purpose of thiscontract is to support the Space Technology Division at NASA Ames Research Center toobtain the services needed for the development of technologies for use in the design andfabrication of prototype vehicles that travel at hypervelocities in the atmosphere ofEarth and other bodies in the solar system. The Contractor provides support in the areasof Reacting Flow Environments, Nanotechnology, Thermo-physics Facilities, and ThermalProtection Materials and Systems. This extension will allow for a continuation ofservices to ensure program continuity and critical mission support and avoid significanttechnical impacts while a competitive follow-on acquisition is completed. The extension will extend the period of performance of the current contract, NNA04BC25C,value and extend the period of performance for a period of five months, from October 1,2008 through February 28, 2009.
