Northrop Grumman Corp. on Friday said it finalized a contract to
provide the Habitation and Logistics Outpost module for the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Gateway, an outpost
that will orbit the moon as part of the Artemis program.
NASA said the Habitation and Logistics Outpost, or HALO, is
where astronauts will live and conduct research. "The pressurized
living quarters will provide command and control systems for the
lunar outpost, and docking ports for visiting spacecraft," NASA
said.
The firm, fixed-price contract is valued at $935 million, NASA
said.
Northrop Grumman said it had previously been awarded a contract
to fund work through the Preliminary Design Review of HALO, and
under the new contract will, along with industry partners and
suppliers, work toward "a Critical Design Review in the spring of
2022 and delivery of the HALO module to the launch site in
2024."
