NASA announced the selection of General Electric, Astro-Space Division, Princeton, New Jersey, for negotiations leading to the award of a cost plus-award-fee contract for design, fabrication, instrument integration, and launch operation support of the Global Geospace Science (GGS) Wind and Polar missions. The two GGS laboratories, with their complement of scientific instruments, were to examine the flow of energy from the Sun through the Earth's geospace environment. This project was to be part of the overall scientific investigations within the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics Program.
The contract would provide for delivery of the Wind laboratory to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, for launch readiness on December 30, 1992, and delivery of the Polar laboratory to Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, for launch readiness on June 30, 1993. Each laboratory would be launched on a government-furnished expendable launch vehicle. (NASA News, Nov 23/88)
