NASA Awards Launch Services Contract for Space Telescope Mission
WASHINGTON, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA has selected Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) of Hawthorne, California, to provide launch services for the COSI (Compton Spectrometer and Imager) mission.
華盛頓，2024年7月2日 /PRNewswire/ — 美國宇航局已選擇位於加利福尼亞州霍桑的太空探索技術公司（SpaceX）爲COSI（康普頓光譜儀和成像儀）任務提供發射服務。
The firm-fixed-price contract has a value of approximately $69 million, which includes launch services and other mission related costs. The COSI mission currently is targeted to launch August 2027 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
固定價格合同的價值約爲6,900萬美元，其中包括髮射服務和其他與任務相關的費用。COSI任務目前的目標是2027年8月用SpaceX獵鷹9號火箭從卡納維拉爾角太空部隊基地發射。
This wide-field gamma-ray telescope will study energetic phenomena in the Milky Way and beyond, including the creation and destruction of matter and antimatter and the final stages of the lives of stars. NASA's COSI mission will probe the origins of the Milky Way's galactic positrons, uncover the sites of nucleosynthesis in our galaxy, perform studies of gamma-ray polarization, and find counterparts to multi-messenger sources. The compact Compton telescope combines improved sensitivity, spectral resolution, angular resolution, and sky coverage to facilitate groundbreaking science.
這種寬視場伽瑪射線望遠鏡將研究銀河系及其他地區的能量現象，包括物質和反物質的產生和破壞以及恒星生命的最後階段。美國宇航局的COSI任務將探測銀河系銀河系正電子的起源，發現我們銀河系中的核合成地點，進行伽瑪射線極化研究，並尋找多信使源的對應物。緊湊型康普頓望遠鏡結合了更高的靈敏度、光譜分辨率、角分辨率和天空覆蓋範圍，爲開創性科學提供了便利。
The mission is a collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory, the University of California, San Diego, the Naval Research Laboratory, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and Northrop Grumman.
該任務由加州大學伯克利分校太空科學實驗室、加州大學聖地亞哥分校、海軍研究實驗室、美國宇航局戈達德太空飛行中心和諾斯羅普·格魯曼公司合作完成。
The COSI principal investigator-led project management team is located at the University of California, Berkeley. NASA's Astrophysics Explorers Program at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, supports development of the project for the Astrophysics Division within NASA's Science Mission Directorate. NASA's Launch Services Program at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida is responsible for program management of the launch services.
由COSI首席研究員領導的項目管理團隊位於加州大學伯克利分校。位於馬里蘭州格林貝爾特戈達德太空飛行中心的美國宇航局天體物理學探索者計劃支持美國宇航局科學任務局天體物理學部開發該項目。位於佛羅里達州肯尼迪航天中心的美國宇航局發射服務計劃負責發射服務的計劃管理。
