The Near Infrared Volatiles Spectrometer System (NIRVSS) Is an Instrument Package Designed to Acquire Imaging and Spectral Data of Targets Within the Lunar Permanently Shaded Regions (PSRS). at Its Core the Instrument Consists of a Monochromatic Imager and a Spectrometer That Covers the Wavelength Range of 1.3 M to 4 M at a Spectral Resolution of 15 to 30 NM. the Imager Uses a Set of Color Leds to Illuminate the Target at Different Wavelengths Whereas a Tungsten Lamp Illuminates the Target for the Spectrometer. Three Versions of This Instrument Are Expected to Fly to the Moon as Payloads on the Astrobotics Lander on CL19 and on the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) to Be Launched on 2021 2022 and 2023 Respectively. We Propose Here to Support the Development and Operations of Nirvss by: 1) Developing Data Analysis Tools to Use in the Interpretation of Nirvss Data. 2) Supporting Data Analysis and Interpretation. 3) Preparing the Data for Release With the PDS.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
