The project...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,204,510.60, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The contract aims to develop a large format, high dynamic range ultraviolet (UV) detector using micro-channel plates (MCPs) and Timepix4 readouts, which will result in a technology readiness level 5 (TRL5) detector that can be scaled for NASA's next...
- This is a $52,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for a project titled "24-XMMNC23-0017 XMM+VLA OBSERVATIONS OF THE SPECTACULAR TIDAL DISRUPTION EVENT AT2022LRI" with a period of performance ending on July 29, 2025. As a public research university, UC Berkeley has received...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,161,459.90, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The contract supports the development and testing of a hard X-ray (HXR) imager detector assembly based on Medipix/Timepix detectors. These detectors will be used to observe solar flares and investigate particle acceleration, a key process in solar...
- This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC18K1487, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The $1,397,826.03 grant is for research related to next-generation satellite and suborbital cosmic microwave background (CMB) missions targeting the detection of gravitational waves from inflation through the nanokelvin fluctuations they induce in the B-mode polarization. The goal...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $670,152.05 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research related to understanding the origin of primordial density fluctuations in the early universe and the detection of primordial gravitational waves through cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. The research aims to provide insights into the physics underlying the properties of polarized dust emission observed by the Planck satellite...
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.
