Delivery Order 80JSC019D0005-80JSC022F0165

NASA awarded Seventh Genius LLC, doing business as DC Supplies, a $15,587 firm fixed price purchase order to deliver a four-point probe system for measuring electrical conductivity. The solicitation sought a system accommodating samples up to 10 inches by 10 inches, with a probe head adjustable from 0.005 to 6 inches above samples. It required selectable readouts of millivolts, ohms-per-square, or ohms-cm, within measurement ranges of 1 milliohm-per-square to 100 megaohms-per-square for sheet...

This federal contract award to Intelligent Optical Systems, Inc. (IOS) is for the development of a luminescence-based optical sensor probe to monitor calcium, conductivity, and pH levels in the wastewater of the International Space Station's (ISS) Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS).

This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on improving the accuracy of satellite-based precipitation measurements over the ocean. The research will involve using data from 64 acoustic rain sensors and 11 surface rain gauges mounted on ocean buoys to test methods for downscaling NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) precipitation product to better...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $320,868.27 grant to Western Environmental Technology Laboratories, Inc. (Wet Labs) for research on maintaining sufficient accuracy of satellite-based ocean-viewing radiometry missions. The contract supports the development of a new hyperspectral radiometer system to enable routine verification of ocean color instrument calibration while on orbit. This effort builds on Wet Labs' heritage in providing optical equipment, sensors,...

This federal contract award, valued at $807,462, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on improving the agency's capabilities in ocean flux measurement from space. The goal is to develop novel remote sensing approaches that complement current and future radiometer data and provide independent information about the air-sea interface thermal stability. This research aligns with...

This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct an in-depth study of (sub)mesoscale ocean variability. The overarching goal is to better characterize surface density variability, particularly the role of salinity, across the submesoscale to mesoscale range. The $649,021 grant will leverage satellite observations, such as sea surface temperature and ocean color, along with in situ...

This $749,999.99 cooperative agreement was awarded by the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSC) to Wichita State University to develop a novel passive, wireless bio-monitoring sensor for measuring critical physiological parameters of astronauts. The sensor aims to monitor blood flow, intracranial pressure, body temperature, blood gas concentration, and liquid cooling ventilation garment (LCVG) performance - all without the need for batteries or electrical components. This work...

The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division operating as Research and Sponsored Programs, was awarded a $90,012 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to deploy the University's High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) system aboard the research vessel Thomas G. Thompson to support the CALIPSO and CAMP2EX field missions. The HSRL system is capable of directly measuring atmospheric properties such as backscatter...

The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) was awarded a $1,935,366 grant by NASA to participate in the ground testing of the Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CRIS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensors on the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)-2, 3, and 4 satellites. SSEC has significant experience in high spectral resolution infrared sensor and imaging sensor development and testing, including past contributions to ground testing...

This is a $125,000 Firm Fixed Price Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Applied Material Systems Engineering, Inc. (AMS Engineering), a minority-owned small business. The contract is for the development and demonstration of a feasibility study of a space environment-stable, multifunctional thermal control material system (TCMS) that can enable higher leakage current through engineered high electrical conductivity at...
