Nova Space Selected To Support ROAR JV On NASA eMITS Contract As Workforce Development Partner

By Business Wire On May 9, 2023

Nova Space announced that it has been awarded a contract to train NASA’s workforce as the workforce development partner under the recently awarded Enterprise Multimedia and Integrated Technical Services (eMITS) contract.

NASA’s eMITS contract is a hybrid contract that includes cost-plus-award-fee core services and indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity task orders. The maximum contract value is about $814M over a potential contract period of 8 years and 9 months. Nova Space is the preferred supplier of internal orientation training for the contract as a subcontractor to the Rothe-ARES Joint Venture (ROAR), the prime contractor and eMITS awardee.

Nova Space will provide access to its Space Professional Development Program, a multi-award winning virtual space education workforce development program, globally recognized for excellence in learning and technology design.

“The entire Nova Space team is honored to provide our training platform, digital curriculum, and consulting skills to the eMITS contract. Organizations that have adopted the space professional program as part of their on-boarding training for employees have gained significant advantages in establishing confident and competent employees early in their tenure, hallmark characteristics necessary to create a successful working culture,” said Christopher Allen, Nova Space COO.

Nova Space digital courses are designed to help current and prospective space professionals become more productive while helping provide their employers a competitive advantage in the space ecosystem. Nova Space currently supports employers in both the commercial and government space industry, within all sectors, to include launch, satellites, manufacturing, industrials, and government agencies. Individuals, government agencies, and organizations are empowering their teams through the challenge-based interactive content developed by Nova Space, covering the foundational pillars of the space industry, which include:

Orbital Mechanics
Space Mission Design
Launch and Propulsion
The Space Environment and Electromagnetic Radiation Theory
Satellite Communications

This contract will provide Nova Space the ability to quickly solve NASA’s workforce challenges created by the expansion of the commercial space industry and the lack of trained space professionals. Their award-winning program allows for an increase in the available talent pool capable of supporting NASA’s mission, supports an increase in retention rates, and provides NASA a confident and trained workforce.

According to Karen Wheeler-Hall, President of ROAR, “We are proud to have been selected by NASA for this important contract, and we look forward to supporting the Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and Office of Communications (OCOMM) in their mission to transition multimedia and technical communications services to an Agency enterprise operation.”

“We are excited to collaborate with our esteemed subcontractors…” added Thomas P’Simer, ARES CEO. “Their expertise and resources enable us to deliver exceptional services and meet NASA’s unique needs across the agency.”
