The research and development effort will support NASA's goals of developing next-generation space...
- Arizona State University, doing business as Orspa, was awarded a $30,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center in Tempe, Arizona. The grant will support using scientific and operational techniques learned from rover missions to further NASA's Artemis science objectives and traverse planning. There is no set-aside designation. Arizona State University will leverage its expertise in planetary surface operations to assist NASA as it prepares for...
- This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for a NASA center) to Arizona State University (ASU) to support innovations in scientific instrumentation for planetary science missions. The $294,888 grant, awarded on August 1, 2020, will fund research to enable higher spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution observations through these revolutionary tools. No set-aside designation was used. As a comprehensive public research university, ASU has a long...
- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Arizona State University (ASU) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The $1,024,020 grant, with a performance period ending on December 31, 2027, will have ASU participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit,...
- This contract award is to Arizona State University to model and design a proof-of-concept lunar radio array. The $111,894.57 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is for research toward the ultimate goal of building a 100,000-element lunar radio telescope array. No set-aside designation was mentioned. Arizona State University, a comprehensive public research university, has received numerous prime and subcontract awards from agencies like...
Arizona State University (ASU) was awarded a $39.7 million firm fixed-price contract by NASA on June 15, 2017, to develop and deliver the ShadowCam scientific instrument for NASA's partnership with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) on the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) mission. In response to NASA's September 2016 solicitation, ShadowCam was selected to map reflectance in the Moon's permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) to detect evidence of frost and ice deposits that could support future human missions as part of NASA's journey to Mars. The instrument represents a significant advancement in lunar observation technology, featuring an optical camera based on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's narrow angle camera but 800 times more sensitive, enabling high-resolution imaging and seasonal monitoring of terrain features including boulder distributions within lunar craters. The contract runs through November 30, 2025, with no set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition. NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems Division, part of the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, led the payload solicitation and selection process. ASU assembled a strong technical team through subcontracts with The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (awarded January 2021 and April 2018), the University of Arizona (May 2018), the University of Hawaii at Manoa (October 2023), Malin Space Science Systems (July 2017), and Intuitive Machines, LLC (October 2024). This collaborative approach leverages specialized expertise across imaging systems development, lunar science investigation, and space mission operations to deliver the scientific capabilities required for understanding lunar resource distribution in support of NASA's lunar exploration objectives.
