Statement of Work
1.0 Background

The NASA Balloon Program Office (BPO) provides management of NASA’s high altitude scientific
balloon activities funded by the Astrophysics Division within the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). The BPO provides this support in
accordance with the Program Commitment Agreement (PCA) for the Research Carriers Program. BPO is
managed within Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) Sub-Orbital and Special Orbital Project
Directorate (SSOPD), Code 800, located at Wallops Flight Facility (WFF). The BPO oversees
management of the contract for operation of the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF), located in
Palestine, Texas. BPO’s annual flight manifest, identified in Table 1, is launched annually from Fort
Sumner, New Mexico and McMurdo, Antarctica. Launches from Palestine, Texas and other remote
locations are conducted depending upon SMD requirements. The Baseline Mission Model in Table I of
Section 2 of this Statement of Work provides the annual manifest, by Government Fiscal Year (FY), for
each campaign site. The majority of NASA’s balloon flights are in support of new or recurring science.
Flights are also conducted in support of technology development and student outreach. NASA balloons
flights are categorized as Conventional, LDB, or ULDB.

Conventional flights last from a few hours up to two days depending upon the winds aloft. Conventional
flights utilize Zero Pressure Balloons (ZPB) that remain within line-of-sight (LOS) of the launch site
ground station or that of a downrange ground station.

LDB flights last from a few days up to several weeks. LDB flights also utilize ZPB but are allowed to go
beyond LOS of the launch ground station, thus requiring use of over-the-horizon (OTH) telemetry,
command, and control systems via earth orbiting satellites. LDB flights utilize LOS during the initial and
final phases of the flight and incorporate robust regenerative power systems. Normally, LDB flights are
conducted closer to polar latitudes during the local summer in order to leverage longer periods of
daylight, which is conducive to achieving extended flight durations using ZPB. LDB flights can be as
short as four days and over fifty days when flown at extreme south polar latitudes.

ULDB flights are those that incorporate Super Pressure Balloons (SPB) that are able to sustain longer
flight durations and minimal diurnal altitude excursions caused by expansion and contraction of the
balloon as affected by daily heating and cooling of the lifting medium (helium). ULDB flights are
designed to sustain flight durations upwards of 60 to 100 days and are better suited for operation at
middle latitudes that are otherwise not conducive for achieving extended flight durations using ZPB.
ULDB flights operate at polar latitudes as well. ULDB flights incorporate similar support systems as
LDB flights.

2.0 Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) is for the NASA Balloon Operations Contract (NBOC) and requires the
