This BAA (IARPA-BAA-22-02) is for the Space debris Identification and Tracking (SINTRA) Program. IARPA seeks innovative solutions for the SINTRA Program, which is envisioned to be a 48-month effort, beginning approximately May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2027.

The SINTRA program seeks to develop novel, innovative techniques to detect, track, and characterize non-trackable orbital space debris. The detection of non-trackable orbital debris would enable safer operation of valuable government and commercial space assets. SINTRA performers will focus on two task areas (TAs): developing novel methods to identify debris signatures (TA1) and; establishing techniques for the persistent monitoring of the debris distribution (TA2).

IARPA will accept questions until September 23, 2022 @ 5:00 PM EST. Questions may be sent to: dni-iarpa-baa-22-02@iarpa.gov
