WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency has awarded SGT Inc. of Greenbelt, Md., a contract for support services for the Constellation Program.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the program focuses on developing spacecraft to travel beyond low Earth orbit. The Constellation fleet includes the Orion crew vehicle, the Ares I and Ares V launch vehicles and Altair human lunar lander.

NASA said the three-year, small business cost-plus-award-fee contract, with a potential value of $60 million with options, requires SGT to provide program planning and control services supporting the Constellation Program. Those services include the program's business management, configuration and data management, requirements analysis and integration, schedule management and integration and technology protection.

Two one-year extension options are available and could bring the total contract value to $100 million, NASA said.
