- This is a $973,682.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to develop a Compact Electrostatic Dust Analyzer (CEDA) for measuring dust transport on small airless bodies. The award has a period of performance through July 31, 2027 and does not have a set-aside designation. CU is a prominent public research university with a robust federal contract and grant portfolio across scientific and technological domains,...
- This federal contract award is a $135,000 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The objective is to use a forward modeling approach fitted to lunar dust data from the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission to estimate the meteoroid environment at 1 Astronomical Unit and advance the understanding of...
- This is a federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, for the development of models and tools to characterize and utilize the small body environment for close proximity landing and surface operations. The $275,570.07 contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), supports research to improve understanding of asteroid and comet surfaces, electrostatic charging, and spacecraft interactions....
- This federal contract award, valued at $650,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The contract is a grant for research and has no set-aside designation. The award supports close collaboration to build confidence in modeling the lunar surface, with the goal of extrapolating the modeling work to parameter ranges not attainable through experiments. This research...

The contract has a ceiling value of $25,000.00 and a completion date of July 30, 2019. It was awarded on September 29, 2016 without any set-aside designation. The University of...
- This is a $1,292,157.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to develop and flight-qualify the instrument designs and components required to support NASA's ambitious space instrumentation objectives over the next decade. The five-year suborbital research program will utilize the University's expertise in physics, materials science, and aerospace engineering to...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado has been awarded a $24.8 million cost-plus-no-fee definitive contract by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to develop and operate the DUSTER (Dust and Surface Composition Instrument) payload for deployment at the lunar south pole. The instrument will measure dust, plasma, micrometeoroid impacts, and lander ejecta to characterize environmental hazards critical to NASA's Artemis lunar exploration missions. The contract, awarded on April 6, 2026, with...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) is a $104,999.98 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on planetary magnetic fields. The objective is to utilize reduced magnetohydrodynamic models to simulate dynamo action and gain insights into the interior dynamics of planets with extreme parameter values that are difficult to fully resolve through direct numerical simulations. Key goals...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $309,400.00 training grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This award, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to enable the acquisition of high-value scientific data from spacecraft operations near active comets. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and accredited public research university, will...
- This is a $83,116.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for a "Daytime Lower Ionosphere Dynamo Experiment" research project. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university, the University of Colorado has extensive experience conducting fundamental research across science,...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, is to develop and advance the flight readiness of the Electrostatic Dust Analyzer (EDA) instrument. The EDA will be used to explore electrostatic dust transport phenomena on the lunar surface, in order to understand its role in shaping the properties of the lunar regolith. The $2,993,466.91 grant will raise the technology readiness level of the EDA from 4 to 6, enabling in-situ measurements that can answer long-standing science questions about the efficacy of electrostatic dust mobilization and transport on the Moon. This instrument development work supports high-priority goals in NASA's planetary science program, including enhancing knowledge about potential dust-related hazards for future lunar exploration. The University of Colorado is the prime contractor on this effort, which does not have a set-aside designation.
