This is a cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, an institution of higher education, for the Undergraduate Nano Ionospheric Temperature Explorer (UNITE) CubeSat project. The objective is to develop, build, and fly a 2U CubeSat to make measurements in the lower ionosphere. Key subsystems, including a Globalstar communications system and Langmuir plasma probe, will be procured to help ensure mission success. The $199,195.36...

This is a $289,943 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), a division of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The three-year effort aims to raise the Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of compact, low-power neutron detector technology for potential use in CubeSat missions. In Year 1, UNH and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) will design and fabricate a prototype readout electronics board to interface...

This is a grant awarded by NASA to Hampton University, a private, non-profit historically Black university, to study a Small Next-generation Atmospheric Probe (SNAP) as a secondary payload for future missions that flyby or orbit giant planets. The proposed SNAP probe would measure the vertical distribution of clouds, chemical species, thermal stratification, and wind speeds on these planets. As a case study, the award examines the feasibility, benefits, and impacts of adding SNAP to the future...

This is a $164,061.73 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Dakota (UND) Division of Research & Economic Development. The contract is part of NASA's Undergraduate Student Instrument Project (USIP) Student Flight Research Opportunity (SFRO), which solicits proposals from U.S. institutions of higher education to develop undergraduate-led payloads for flight on suborbital-class platforms. The goal of the USIP SFRO is...

This $758,436 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Dakota (UND) supports the university's participation in the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX), which is part of NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. Under this grant, UND will deploy its Cessna Citation aircraft to collect in-situ measurements of cloud microphysics and atmospheric conditions in coordination with remote sensing observations from NASA...

The University of New Hampshire (UNH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, has been awarded a $28,061 firm fixed-price purchase order contract from NASA to Develop/Modify NASA Lightning Launch Commit Criteria & Associated Rationale. This work will be completed by July 10, 2024. The contract has no set-aside designation. UNH, a non-profit 1862 land grant university, frequently serves as a prime contractor and subcontractor on research and technical assistance projects for federal...

The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $90,000.00 Cooperative Agreement to the University of North Texas (UNT) Research and Innovation Division, doing business as Vice President Research Services, for the project "CAN23-161, HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED ISRU DERIVED COMPOSITES". The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. This award is not set aside for any special designation. The University of North Texas is a public research...

This federal contract award, valued at $100,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) through a Cooperative Agreement. The contract, part of NASA's BRIAN: Broad-Spectrum Radio Interference Analyzing Nanosatellite program, aims to develop a 3U CubeSat mission to characterize the radio frequency (RF) noise environment in low Earth orbit (LEO). The CubeSat will be developed by the...

This federal contract award is for the design, development, and delivery of a CubeSat to measure plasma electron density at sub-meter resolution. The project will be carried out by a team of undergraduate students under the mentorship of faculty at the University of South Alabama (USA), a public research university. The CubeSat will be designed to operate in the upper F layer of the ionosphere between 400 km and 800 km altitude, with an orbit inclination of roughly 50 degrees to make...

The University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating under the University System of New Hampshire, was awarded a $1.85M grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on December 18, 2019, to support scientific research operations through December 17, 2024. The award funds the collection and analysis of plasma characteristics measurements from protons, alpha particles, and heavy ions aboard NASA's STEREO observatories using the Plasma and Suprathermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) sensors. The three-year...
