The Aerospace Corporation is a non-profit organization that provides engineering, research,...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Aerospace Corporation, a non-profit organization that provides technical and scientific research and advisory services to NASA and other government agencies. The grant, valued at $287,222.44, is for a project to understand the variability of the radiation environment in the inner magnetosphere and assess its impact on spacecraft materials. The key objectives are to characterize how solar wind...
- This $125,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to The Aerospace Corporation, a non-profit federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). The award is for the "Atomic Planar Power for Lightweight Exploration (APPLE)" project, which will explore an alternative vehicle architecture that integrates a long-lived, peak power source to enable deep solar system missions on low-mass, fast transit space platforms. The Aerospace...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Aerospace Corporation, a federally funded research and development center. The $525,000 grant supports research to determine the dynamics and coupling of Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere and their response to solar and terrestrial inputs, which aligns with a high-level science goal from NASA's Heliophysics Decadal Survey. The Aerospace Corporation has a long history of providing...
This is a $523,896 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Aerospace Corporation, a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). The grant is for research to develop a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system to detect and remove biological contamination from spacecraft surfaces without damaging the underlying materials. This supports NASA's planetary protection requirements for higher-category space missions, where current life-detect instruments with bio-chips cannot be used due to the potential for recontamination. The Aerospace Corporation will apply its expertise in laser technologies and plasma characterization to create a spectral library of spacecraft materials and bio-contaminants, quantify detection limits, and optimize the LIBS system for this specialized application. There is no set-aside designation for this grant award.
