About this award
New Mexico State University (NMSU) was awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center on September 1, 2023, to conduct characterization and mechanical testing of segmented and bonded monocrystalline silicon optics for next-generation X-ray space telescopes. The work will be performed in Las Cruces, New Mexico, with a completion target of February 28, 2026. This research initiative supports the development of advanced optical systems critical to future space-based astronomical observation capabilities, leveraging NMSU's established expertise in scientific research and technical services.
The award was issued without set-aside designation and reflects NMSU's continued role as a research partner for federal agencies pursuing sophisticated space exploration technologies. As a land-grant, Hispanic-serving institution, NMSU has demonstrated capacity across multiple scientific disciplines and maintains an extensive portfolio of federal research contracts and grants spanning agencies including NASA, the Department of Energy, and the National Science Foundation. This cooperative agreement aligns with NMSU's core mission of providing specialized technical testing and characterization services in support of national space exploration priorities.
