NASA has awarded a contract to the University of Colorado Boulderโ€™s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) for development of a reflected solar spectrometer for the agencyโ€™s Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Pathfinder mission.ย 

The cost-no-fee contract provides for the formulation, implementation, launch, operation and analysis of the CLARREO Pathfinder missionโ€™s reflected solar spectrometer. An indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity component provides for special studies and related services as required. The period of performance spans eight years and the total contract value is $57.4 million.

CLARREO Pathfinder will demonstrate the technology needed to assess coastal flooding risks more effectively and better inform policy. The Science Directorate at NASAโ€™s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, manages the mission for the agencyโ€™s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
