Place of performance is Boulder, CO. The contract extends through June 30, 2029.</p>

This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, supports research to analyze data from the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission. The research will use LADEE's Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) observations to characterize the spatial and size distributions of dust particles in the lunar exosphere and compare this to in-situ measurements from the LDEX instrument. The $202,063.38 grant award, which does not...

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Caltech) was awarded a delivery order on October 1, 2018, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement with a ceiling value of $31.3 million to develop and deliver an optical ground terminal and associated atmospheric monitoring instruments for the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) program. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, funded by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is performing this work in Pasadena,...

The University of New Hampshire (a division of the University System of New Hampshire) received a cooperative agreement from NASA's Shared Services Center on November 22, 2018, with a ceiling value of $824,798 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026. This award funds the LEADER Center for Space Environments, a modeling-lab-data center of excellence designed to investigate how highly variable energy and matter in the inner heliosphere affect volatile stability, plasma interactions, dust...

This federal contract award, valued at $3,807,377.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Aerospace Corporation, a non-profit federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for the Low-Latitude Ionosphere/Thermosphere Enhancements in Density (LLITED) mission, a CubeSat project that aims to provide in-situ measurements of the duskside thermosphere and ionosphere in order to study...
