NASA AWARDS CONTRACT FOR GEOPHYSICS, GEODYNAMICS AND SPACE GEODESY SUPPORT

GREENBELT, Md. -- NASA has selected Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies
Inc. (SGT) in Greenbelt, Md, to provide geophysics, geodynamics, and
space geodesy support. The total maximum ordering value of the
cost-plus-fixed fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite- quantity

July 1 through Aug. 31, 2015.

Under this contract, SGT will support a wide array of geodynamic,
geomagnetic, geophysical, and atmospheric investigations of the
Earth. Among the requirements for these investigations are instrument
development; software development and maintenance; and data
collection, archiving and dissemination. Contract work also includes
scientific data analysis, modeling and interpretation; reports and
presentations of scientific results; public outreach and education;
and associated technical and administrative work.

SGT will provide support to investigators associated with current
programs such as Interdisciplinary Studies in Earth Science; projects

future missions defined in the National Academy of Science Decadal
Survey, such as ICESat-2 and SWOT.

The work will be performed at Goddard Space Flight Center in
