- This is a $749,807.44 cooperative agreement awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Maine Space Grant Consortium, a non-profit organization. The award is for a project to use NASA multispectral and sea surface temperature data, as well as new hyperspectral field data, to bio-optically classify different water masses in the Gulf of Maine. The goal is to identify water masses that are preferred habitat for the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium, track these water masses, and map their...
- Maine Space Grant Consortium, a nonprofit aerospace research organization headquartered in Augusta, Maine, was awarded a $750,000 cooperative agreement by NASA's Shared Services Center on June 7, 2022, to research metastable oxygen nanobubbles for advanced life support systems in space exploration. The performance period extends through June 6, 2026, with work conducted at the consortium's Chelsea, Maine facility. This award does not utilize a set-aside designation and represents part of the...
- This is a $499,953.81 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Maine Space Grant Consortium (MSGC), a non-profit organization, to support the Maine NASA EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Research Infrastructure Development (RID) program from 2015 to 2022. The goal of the program is to enable Maine scientists and engineers to compete nationally in NASA-related research and development activities. Specifically, the grant will fund interdisciplinary...
- This is a $502,255.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, a non-profit research organization in East Boothbay, Maine. The overarching goal of this project is to characterize and quantify the carbon stocks and fluxes in the Gulf of Maine, a continental shelf sea. The objectives are to: (1) quantify standing stocks of the different carbon pools via remote sensing, (2) extend satellite surface measurements to...
- NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $3.41 million cooperative agreement to Maine Space Grant Consortium on June 23, 2025, to support STEM engagement initiatives in Maine through fiscal year 2028, with completion scheduled for June 22, 2029. The award carries no set-aside designation and will be performed in Chelsea, Maine. The consortium, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Augusta, Maine, and registered in the System for Award Management since 2001, will execute a four-year program...
- This $749,605.91 cooperative agreement was awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Maine Space Grant Consortium, a non-profit organization, to research and develop geospatial data products to monitor forest health in the Northeastern United States. The project aims to leverage NASA's remote sensing technologies, including the Landsat satellite and the G-LIHT hyperspectral-lidar-thermal system, to provide more detailed and accurate data on forest tree species identification and...
- NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $245,099 grant to the University of Maine System (University of Maine division) for an Ocean Optics Training Workshop focused on theory and measurements in support of calibration and validation of space-based ocean color observations. The award, issued January 1, 2025, with a completion date of December 31, 2026, supports NASA's 2022 Strategic Plan objectives of scientific discovery and exploration for the benefit of the United States and humanity. The...
- The federal contract award is a Cooperative Agreement between the Maine Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) and the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) with a ceiling value of $4,240,000.00. The award supports the MSGC's proposed programmatic goals over the next four years to expand and diversify Maine's space exploration research and education capacity from K-12 through graduate programs, aligning with NASA's priorities. This contract award does not utilize any set-aside designations. The MSGC, a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $370,019.25 grant to the University of Maine System (UMS) to support the Consortium for Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) project. SOCCOM aims to build a 200-float observatory in the Southern Ocean to improve understanding of the region's contribution to global ocean processes and climate. Through this grant, UMS will add bio-optical sensors to the float array, collect validation data for NASA's...
This is a $95,941.30 cooperative agreement awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Maine Space Grant Consortium, a non-profit organization, to support a research and development project titled "Improving Estimates of Land-to-Ocean Carbon Flux through Characterization of Colloidal Inherent Optical Properties." The project is intended to contribute to improving understanding of land-to-ocean carbon flux, with a completion date of December 31, 2023. The Maine Space Grant Consortium has received multiple prime federal contract and grant awards from NASA and the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration to support space exploration research, education, and workforce development in Maine, including efforts related to the proposed Maine Spaceport Complex. This award does not have a set-aside designation.
