- This is a $1,430,834.28 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to develop advanced ultra-violet (UV) spectrograph grating technology. The purpose is to advance electron beam lithography methods to fabricate high-efficiency, low-scatter UV diffraction gratings to at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. This work will directly support future large space telescope concepts like the Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR)...
- The Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a Tucson, Arizona-based non-profit research organization, received a $4.46 million grant from a civilian federal agency for the development of the Ultraviolet Micromirror Imaging Spectrograph (UMIS). The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, with a completion date of August 31, 2027, supports PSI's work in advanced scientific instrumentation for planetary science research. This non-set-aside award reflects PSI's demonstrated technical merit and competitive...
- This is a $87,360.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (UA) to perform a laboratory demonstration of combined high-performance coronagraph and wide-field astrometric imaging capabilities. The goal is to augment a high-performance coronagraph, which can detect and characterize exoplanets, with wide-field astrometry to enable measurements of exoplanet masses and orbits. This work will increase the technology readiness level (TRL)...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) is for the development of a plasmonic spectrometer for in situ characterization of solar system surfaces and subsurface environments. The $380,546.54 grant aims to advance measurement capabilities for planetary science missions by exploring illumination and light gathering strategies for on or near surface studies using optical fibers, and designing a plasmonic...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $111,222.31 grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop a medium-resolution, next-generation near-infrared heterodyne spectrometer with associated electronics for future planetary missions. The three-year project aims to leverage recent advancements in photonic lantern, arrayed waveguide gratings, and photonics integrated circuit technologies to create a smaller, lighter, and lower power instrument...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.
