Wage and hour cases

Closed DOL Wage & Hour Division cases (FLSA, FMLA, H-2B, MSPA, and related statutes).

The Statutes column lists which laws each case cited. 1 case · 1 violations · $0 in backwages

IGF::OT::IGF "HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND SUPPORT FOR THE NANOSATELLITE AUTONOMOUS DOCKING DEMONSTRATION" THIS PROCUREMENT FOR THE SMALL FREE-FLYING SPACE SYSTEMS TOPIC WAS COMPETITIVELY SOLICITED AND SELECTED TO SUPPORT THE ON-ORBIT AUTONOMOUS ASSEMBLY OF NANOSATELLITES (OAAN) AND INTEGRATED SIGNALS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR WATER CYCLE STUDIES UNDER NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH PARTNERING FOR EARLY CAREER INITIATIVE PROPOSALS. THE OAAN PROJECT PROVIDES A NEW INTEGRATION AND APPLICATION OF SPACE QUALIFIABLE COMMERCIAL-OFF-THE-SHELF (COTS) AND FLIGHT HERITAGE PARTS TO ACCOMPLISH AUTONOMOUS RENDEZVOUS AND COOPERATIVE DOCKING OF AN ACTIVE/PASSIVE CUBESAT PAIR. THE OAAN DEMONSTRATES THE TECHNOLOGY TO AUTONOMOUSLY DOCK TWO OR MORE NANOSATELLITES TO FORM AN INTEGRATED SATELLITE SYSTEM. OAAN OFFERS A FLEXIBLE AND MODULAR ALTERNATIVE TO CURRENT SATELLITE DESIGN AND ENABLES THE CONSTRUCTION OF LARGE STRUCTURES ON-ORBIT FROM NANOSATELLITE SCALE SUBSYSTEMS. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO PROVEN SYSTEMS FOR DOCKING SMALL-SCALE SPACECRAFT. AUTONOMOUS RENDEZVOUS AND DOCKING IS APPLICABLE TO A WIDE RANGE OF NASA MISSIONS AND OBJECTIVES, INCLUDING IN-SPACE SATELLITE SERVICING AND ORBITAL DEBRIS REMOVAL.
