Summary

The Lunar Assay via Small Satellite Orbiter (LASSO) program, initiated by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), aims to enhance the United States' capabilities in space situational awareness, particularly in cislunar space. This solicitation seeks innovative contractors to develop technologies for autonomous satellite navigation and propulsion systems that can operate effectively in the challenging environment of low lunar orbit. The primary objective is to design, test, and deliver a spacecraft capable of identifying areas on the Moon with over 5% water concentration, utilizing high-resolution measurements. This opportunity is ideal for businesses with expertise in spacecraft design, remote sensing, and advanced propulsion systems, particularly those that can demonstrate innovative approaches to maneuverability and navigation in complex orbital conditions.
Description
The LASSO program aims to develop technologies to support significantly increasing the United States’ (US) ability to conduct operations in support of space situational awareness by developing both autonomous satellite navigation in stressing orbital conditions and increasing satellite maneuverabili
