- This is a $100,000.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Dakota (UND) to support the identification of high latitude cloud, aerosol, and blowing snow layers using machine learning of lidar and polarimeter data. The award, which is not set aside, has an ultimate completion date of August 14, 2026. UND, a major public research institution, has extensive experience executing federal contracts and grants across various...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The award amount is $32,885.89 and is for research related to the extreme surface environment of the planet Venus, which has a temperature of approximately 460 degrees Celsius and a surface pressure of 92 bars, primarily consisting of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and trace gases. The...
- The University of North Dakota (UND) was awarded a $100,000.00 Cooperative Agreement contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to evolve the North Dakota Dual Aurora Camera Project. The contract involves data analysis and the creation of an accessible and engaging citizen science platform, with a performance period ending on August 14, 2025. UND, a major research university in North Dakota, has extensive experience managing federal contracts...
This federal contract award, valued at $99,996.58, was issued by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the University of North Dakota (UND) Division of Research & Economic Development. The contract aims to develop a protective coating system to enable reliable long-duration operation of advanced sensor platforms under the extreme environmental conditions of the Venus surface, which experiences extremely high ambient temperature and pressure. The project will leverage UND's expertise in multiscale modeling, mechanics of materials, and smart coating and sensing platform design to address two key challenges: (1) creating a lightweight and durable coating system with excellent mechanical and structural stability under high temperature and pressure, and (2) designing a thermal insulation layer to maintain a relatively low temperature state for the sensors. The proposed solution involves a multilayer thin film coating based on aero-graphene, a bulk-like porous material with low density, low thermal conductivity, and exceptional mechanical properties. This cooperative agreement contract does not have a set-aside designation. UND will be the prime contractor, drawing on its extensive experience managing large-scale federal research and development projects across aerospace, energy, and other disciplines in collaboration with government agencies, industry partners, and academic institutions.
