About this award
Universities Space Research Association (USRA) received a $70,872 cooperative agreement (25-NUP2025-0007) from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded on April 1, 2025, to investigate systematic correction algorithms for Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light curves. The project aims to enhance USRA's existing code that optimizes the application of systematic error correctors and rigorously evaluates their performance using noise metrics and statistical analysis. The work focuses on developing companion code to assess the ability of these correctors to accurately preserve stellar variations while accounting for instrumental systematics such as scattered light, ultimately improving the quality of TESS flux time series data for exoplanet and stellar research investigations.
The cooperative agreement carries a ceiling value of $70,872 and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026. Work will be performed in Washington, DC. This award supports NASA's broader efforts to maximize the scientific utility of TESS data for the research community by addressing observational and data processing-induced systematic trends that can compromise the reliability of downstream analyses. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
