WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., has awarded a $34.9 million contract modification to Jacobs Technology Inc.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the modification will allow additional support for testing and facility operation, development projects, as well as the required maintenance and repairs of wind tunnels and other facilities at the California facility.

The cost-plus-incentive fee award fee contract with the Tullahoma, Tenn., company ends July 31. NASA said the modification brings the total value of the contract, awarded in June 2004, to $123.8 million.
