en.Wedoany.com Reported - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has selected Denmar Technical Services of Nevada to provide aircraft modification, maintenance, and testing services for the Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, and the Human Spaceflight Mission Directorate at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

This is a fixed-price contract, with time and material billing for overruns and unforeseen work. The contract has a maximum potential value of $8.4 million and is valid until February 1, 2027. Under the contract, the contractor will modify a Boeing 737-700 aircraft to perform lunar gravity parabolic flights for testing NASA space equipment. After modification, the aircraft will be owned by the Armstrong Flight Research Center, which will oversee aircraft operations for the Johnson Space Center.

The modified 737 aircraft will be validated in a reduced-gravity environment relevant to operations, used to test astronaut lunar suits and related crew systems in support of Artemis mission objectives. This phase enables validation before actual lunar missions are conducted.
