This is a contract award to the University of Colorado (UC) to extend the definition phase (Phase B) of the Earth Observing System (EOS) Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) instrument. The goal is to produce a conceptual design cost review for this principal investigator-led experiment to make long-term solar observations. The University of Colorado will be responsible for mission operations, algorithm development, and science data products. This $153,052,357 definitive...
The University of Colorado, doing business as University of Colorado Boulder, has been awarded a $443,947 cost-no-fee definitive contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center. The contract calls for the University to provide general support of the Colorado Student Space Weather Research (CSSWeR) program's development efforts for the University of Colorado's Versatile Transportable Technology Testbed (UVTT) and mission operations. This award...
This federal contract award is for the development of a concept for the Galaxy Evolution Probe, a far-infrared NASA astrophysics probe. The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded this $113,434.84 grant to conduct research and analysis to define the science goals, telescope requirements, and observatory design for the Galaxy Evolution Probe. The goal is to characterize the evolution of star formation...
This is a $3,256,304.08 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for research related to understanding the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation output of nearby stars and its impact on exoplanet atmospheres. The grant will fund two additional flights of the Dual-channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment (DEUCE) payload to (1) complete an ionizing radiation census of local B-stars and (2) obtain the first EUV spectra of the nearest main-sequence stars, including potential...
The Regents of the University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $3,794,546.09 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop, launch, and operate a CubeSat mission called the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE). The objective is to study the atmospheric properties of exoplanets orbiting other stars, particularly focusing on phenomena such as atmospheric mass-loss, interaction with the host star, and...
This is a $284,900 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants division, for the Timed Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Experiment (SEE) Extended Mission. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund the university's research and development efforts related to space weather modeling and space physics over the period of performance from October 1,...
This is a $1,671,831.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to support a two-year suborbital-class research program for the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE), a NASA-funded 6U CubeSat mission to study atmospheric composition and escape on exoplanets. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and...
This is a $378,265 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research on atmospheric escape from terrestrial exoplanets. The study will use validated global plasma models to understand how a planet's size, atmospheric composition, and magnetic field strength influence the loss of charged particles from its atmosphere. The research aims to determine which types of planets are most likely to retain their atmospheres when exposed...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $379,143 grant to the University of Colorado, a public research university, for the "STELLAR X-RAY AND ULTRAVIOLET CHARACTERIZATION OF THE HABITABLE WORLDS OBSERVATORY HABITABLE PLANET TARGET SAMPLE" project. This grant will fund research to support NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory, a program focused on identifying and studying potentially habitable exoplanets. The University of Colorado will perform X-ray and...
The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded a $361,599.67 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop advanced ultraviolet spectrograph designs for future space astronomy missions. The goal is to create holographically corrected echelle grating designs that can provide enhanced sensitivity, resolution, and multi-object capabilities compared to current state-of-the-art instruments. This work will support the design of ultraviolet spectrographs...
