About this award
NASA awarded a $212,292.70 cost-no-fee definitive contract to the University of California, Berkeley on February 29, 2016, for contributions to the LiteBIRD (Lite satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic Dust) mission payload. The contract was awarded under NASA's Research Announcement (NRA) program as part of NASA's Explorers Program. UC Berkeley is responsible for delivering detector arrays, a sub-Kelvin cooler, and collaborative data analysis support for this international partnership mission led by the Japanese space agency JAXA. The work is being performed in Berkeley, California, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2017.
The LiteBIRD mission represents a significant collaboration between NASA and Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to map polarized fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background across 15 frequency bands using two cryogenically cooled telescopes, with the goal of detecting gravitational wave signatures from cosmic inflation in the universe's earliest moments. UC Berkeley has engaged subcontractors including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is providing detector technology expertise, and the University of Colorado, which is contributing focal plane design and concept study support. The contract was awarded without set-aside designation, reflecting competitive selection based on technical merit for this high-priority space science initiative.
