About this award
Delaware State University was awarded a cooperative agreement valued at $833,315 by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center on August 21, 2023, to support the project "Constraining Exospheric Water Using Mid-IR Sensing and LIBS for Lunar Rover Missions." The contract, designated 23-M-STAR-0005, is scheduled for completion by August 20, 2026, and will be performed in Leipsic, Delaware. This effort represents a continuation of the university's significant contributions to NASA-supported lunar exploration initiatives, building on its established expertise in developing advanced sensing technologies for space applications.
The project focuses on developing mid-infrared sensing and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) capabilities to detect and characterize water in the lunar exosphere, research critical to supporting future rover missions and in-situ resource utilization objectives. This contract aligns with Delaware State University's demonstrated track record in optical and photonic sensing technology development and reflects its role as a key research partner for federal agencies pursuing advanced scientific and technological innovations. No set-aside designation was applied to this cooperative agreement.
