About this award
The University of California, Berkeley has been awarded a $70K cooperative agreement by a civilian federal agency to study the effectiveness of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technology for determining volatile gas concentrations in the atmospheres of giant planets. The work, which commenced on April 1, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2026, represents a focused research effort in planetary atmospheric analysis. This contract was awarded without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition based on technical merit. The research will be conducted at UC Berkeley's Albany, California facility.
As a premier research institution and land grant university, UC Berkeley regularly serves as a prime contractor for federal agencies conducting advanced scientific research across multiple domains including space exploration, materials science, and instrumentation development. This planetary atmospheric research aligns with the university's broader portfolio of NASA-supported projects and demonstrates its continued capacity to deliver sophisticated scientific investigations that advance understanding of our solar system's giant planets and their chemical compositions.
