- This is a $200,000.00 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech), doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The objective is to provide undergraduate students hands-on experience developing a CubeSat satellite mission that will demonstrate centimeter-level altimetry precision using a miniaturized LIDAR...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $994,731.60 grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to develop a novel Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer gross primary productivity product for estimating blue carbon across the Southeastern United States. The product will use tidal and species-based models adapted from 500-meter tide-indexed MODIS daily surface reflectance data to generate regional maps of MODIS-derived plant...
- This is a $590,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Florida (USF) to advance the science of satellite data analysis for mapping ocean biogeography. The project aims to differentiate short-term anomalies from long-term trends in the taxonomic and functional diversity of marine life, using data from the Aqua, Suomi-National Polar-Partnership (SNPP), and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellite series. The goal is to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $199,649.70, was granted to Sonoma State University (SSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the EDGECUBE project. EDGECUBE is a 1U CubeSat designed to monitor the red edge characteristics of 300 km areas of the Earth using five narrow spectral bands. The project is a partnership between SSU, Santa Clara University, and Morehead State University, with additional support from the California Space Grant Consortium. The...
- This federal contract award is for the design, development, and delivery of a CubeSat to measure plasma electron density at sub-meter resolution. The project will be carried out by a team of undergraduate students under the mentorship of faculty at the University of South Alabama (USA), a public research university. The CubeSat will be designed to operate in the upper F layer of the ionosphere between 400 km and 800 km altitude, with an orbit inclination of roughly 50 degrees to make...
- This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington for the HuskySat-I project, a 3U CubeSat with plasma propulsion and high-gain telemetry for low-Earth orbit. The goal is to develop a CubeSat system enabling more extensive mapping of solar system objects, including lunar magnetic anomalies, as a precursor to a 6U CubeSat for lunar orbital insertion. The $199,757.04 award supports an...
- This federal contract award, valued at $117,394.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to conduct a 2-week field campaign with Korean scientists in the East and Yellow Seas. The purpose is to obtain unique datasets that include both in-situ measurements and geostationary satellite observations from the Korean Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) to address key scientific questions...
- This federal contract award, valued at $118,835.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts Boston to conduct research and analysis related to the planned Geostationary Ocean Color Satellite (GEO-CAPE) mission. The research aims to address key questions about the capability required to resolve diurnal changes in coastal water biogeochemical properties, the impact of particle size and composition on ocean bidirectional reflectance...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $624,030 grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop the SABIA-MAR 1 satellite. This satellite is being built by the Argentina Space Agency (CONAE) to observe ocean color from a sun-synchronous orbit. It will use onboard cameras to measure top-of-atmosphere reflectance in multiple spectral bands to generate standard ocean color data products. The award does not have a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $748,026.00, establishes a scientific partnership between the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), the College of Charleston (CoFC), Kent State University (KSU), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC). The project aims to quantify the relationship between water optical properties observed by NASA's space-based sensors and in-situ measurements of optically active constituents on coral reefs. This research...
This is a $199,989.05 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to develop and operate the first moderate resolution coastal ecosystem and ocean color CubeSat. The primary scientific goal is to generate multispectral imaging products to monitor coastal wetlands, estuarine water quality, and near-coastal ocean productivity, in support of NASA's strategic objective to advance knowledge of Earth as a system. The CubeSat will contain a UV spectrometer and RGB camera to acquire image data. This project provides an opportunity to engage undergraduate students in space exploration and Earth science research. The award is not a set-aside contract.
