The $910,000.00 grant supports continuing flight operations, data processing, and science analysis for the Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) mission in the United States. The Washington University, a private research university based in St. Louis, Missouri, has...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1.46 million research grant to The Washington University in University City, Missouri, effective August 1, 2021, with a completion date of July 31, 2026. This grant represents a renewal of award NNX16AB52G and supports the Quasi Team's planned ground-based and flight studies to be conducted on the International Space Station (ISS). The grant was awarded through NASA's Shared Services Center to Washington University's Office of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $788,263.14 research grant to The Washington University's Office of Sponsored Research Services Division to develop and evaluate a prototype accelerator beam-test instrument for a future gamma-ray/cosmic-ray mission. The instrument is designed to demonstrate the performance of a new type of imaging calorimeter, with the goal of advancing the technical readiness level of key detector technologies. The project involves constructing a 150mm x 150mm prototype consisting of scintillating fiber trackers and cesium iodide crystal layers read out by wavelength shifting optical fibers and silicon photomultiplier photodetectors. Calibrations will be performed using accelerator facilities. This grant-funded project is aimed at supporting the development of an "Advanced Particle-Astrophysics Telescope" mission concept, which would provide an order of magnitude improvement in geometry factor compared to the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and enable prompt localization of gamma-ray transients. The award does not have a set-aside designation, and was granted directly to The Washington University with no major subcontractors mentioned.
