This is a $238,922 grant award to the University of Hawaii (UH) from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, for a research project to observe the 2024 total solar eclipse. The goal is to use NASA's WB-57F high-altitude research aircraft to acquire superior quality spectral data and imaging observations of the solar corona over the 270-1100 nanometer wavelength range. This will yield insights into coronal plasma composition, temperatures, and coronal mass ejections. The award...
This is a $609,001 grant awarded by NASA to Montana State University (MSU) to engage the public in an educational and awe-inspiring way during the total solar eclipse across the continental U.S. on August 21, 2017. The grant is part of NASA's Nationwide Network of Total Solar Eclipse High Altitude Balloon Flights program. Under this grant, MSU will coordinate students to conduct high-altitude balloon flights from 9-12 locations across the eclipse path, sending live video and images from...
This federal contract award is a $4,529,657.39 cooperative agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), a non-profit organization. The award is for the "COSMOQUEST: ENGAGING STUDENTS & THE PUBLIC THROUGH A VIRTUAL RESEARCH FACILITY" program, which aims to leverage citizen science and STEM education to support NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) data utilization. The...
