- This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a state government entity and institution of higher learning. The $124,744.55 grant is for research to develop more sophisticated flexible multibody simulations that can support the design and validation of complex, high-speed aerospace systems - an area where NASA's current simulations are too simplistic. Tees, as part...
- This is a $455,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a research institution within the Texas A&M University System. The grant is for research activities related to spaceflight, which often require the use of both limbs simultaneously. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. Tees, the prime contractor, is a state government...
- This is a $299,995.93 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a government entity and state institution of higher learning. The grant is for research and development to advance the technology readiness level of prototype accelerometers being developed by the Laboratory of Space Systems and Optomechanics (LASSO) at Texas A&M University. The grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $314,901.00 grant award to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a research institute within the Texas A&M University System, for a project titled "The Behavioral Health of Astronauts on Long Duration Exploration Missions (LDEMS)." The award is being made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the negative effects of isolation, confinement, and sensory deprivation associated with long-duration space exploration...
- This contract, awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provides a $149,892 grant to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a division of the Texas A&M University System, to conduct research on "Active Sub-Doppler Atomic Filters for Adaptive High Sensitivity Wind Measurements" under the direction of student Robert Randolph. The research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run through August...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was granted to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a government entity and state institution of higher learning. The $486,055.02 grant, awarded on May 16, 2019, is for research into an innovative beamed propulsion architecture that could enable interstellar missions to Proxima Centauri B at nearly 10% the speed of light. This research aims to develop new and revolutionary propulsion systems for challenging long-distance space missions, such as to the Kuiper Belt, Oort Cloud, and nearby stellar systems. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the work is scheduled for completion on December 7, 2022. Tees is a well-established federal contractor, having supported research and development efforts for various government agencies, and is a subsidiary of the Texas A&M University System, one of the largest higher education systems in the nation.
