About this award
This federal contract award to Reflective X-Ray Optics, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $960,459 grant aims to (A) develop Co-, Ni-, and Pt-based X-ray multilayer coatings with high reflectance up to ~200 keV to maximize telescope effective area and extend energy coverage beyond the NuSTAR mission, and (B) develop techniques to mitigate multilayer-coating-stress-induced deformation of thin-shell mirror substrates to achieve hard X-ray telescope angular resolution of 15 arc-seconds or better. This grant, which has a completion date of May 23, 2025, is intended to enable the construction of next-generation hard X-ray telescopes. The contract has no set-aside designation.
