NASA has awarded a contract to Omitron Inc. for orbital safety analysis support services aimed at protecting the agency's spaceflight assets and astronaut lives, according to a NASA news release.

The indefinite-delivery contract is valued at approximately $23.5 million over a five-year period of performance, the agency said.

Under the agreement, Omitron will provide conjunction assessment screening services covering all of NASA's uncrewed spacecraft, helping the agency monitor and mitigate the risk of collisions with other objects in orbit.

Orbital safety analysis has become an increasingly important part of space operations as the number of satellites and debris objects in Earth orbit continues to grow, raising the risk of potential collisions.

NASA said the services are intended to provide critical protection for its spacecraft and to support the safety of astronauts operating in orbit.
