About this award
The Johns Hopkins University has been awarded a $10.4 million cooperative agreement by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to develop and support the MINICOR (Miniature Coronagraph for Heliophysics Research & Operations) project. This non-set-aside award, effective January 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of February 13, 2028, will be performed in Baltimore, Maryland. The cooperative agreement structure indicates a collaborative partnership between Johns Hopkins and the federal agency to advance heliophysics research capabilities through the development of miniaturized coronagraph technology, which is used to observe the Sun's corona and support space weather monitoring and research operations.
Johns Hopkins University, a leading research institution with extensive federal contracting experience through its Applied Physics Laboratory and other divisions, brings substantial expertise in advanced scientific instrumentation and aerospace technology to this effort. The university's track record of delivering sophisticated research and technological solutions across space exploration, engineering, and scientific domains positions it well to execute this heliophysics research initiative. The project duration of approximately four years reflects the complexity of developing and operationalizing miniaturized coronagraph systems for ongoing heliophysics research and operational support within the federal government's space weather and solar observation programs.
