The SETI Institute is serving as the prime contractor, leveraging its expertise in...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0054, was granted to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to support research on circumbinary planets (CBPs) detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The $50,000.00 grant will enable the Seti Institute to detect a significantly larger number of CBPs compared to previous missions, and conduct statistical studies on their occurrence rates, formation, and habitability. This work will provide a deeper...
- This federal contract award, valued at $25,000.00, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization specializing in astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for a research project titled "Utilization of Our Solar System as the Model Planetary System Long Has Implications for Exoplanetary Studies." The...
- The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission awarded a $52,500 grant to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, to develop a citizen science project to analyze TESS mission light curve data. The goal is to supplement automated data analysis pipelines and identify unusual transiting systems that may be missed. This grant, awarded by NASA, does not have a set-aside designation. The SETI Institute has held numerous research contracts and grants from NASA and the National...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC23K0133, was issued by the Shared Services Center (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization based in Mountain View, California. The $70,000 grant-funded contract is for a project titled "Tracking Down TESS's Long-Period Transits with a Coordinated Citizen Science Network" and has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2024. The SETI Institute has a history of performing technical support services and...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $593,536 research grant by NASA effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports research related to NASA's space telescope missions, including Kepler, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which conduct photometric observations to detect exoplanet transits and study variable stellar phenomena. The work...
- This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university. The contract, valued at $49,951.86, is a grant to support research related to the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The research aims to analyze light curve data from TESS, which provides information on the entire orbital phase of exoplanets, including transits,...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K1101, was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research related to the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The contract, valued at $47,628.00, is a grant for research and aims to leverage the long baseline of the Continuous Viewing Zone (CVZ) of the TESS mission to discover over 200 planets. The research will involve analyzing full-frame images, adding new targets to the 2-minute data list, and constraining planet and star properties through the combined dataset. This work is expected to provide a major contribution to the yield of the most valuable exoplanets. There is no set-aside designation associated with this contract, and the Seti Institute is the prime contractor with no major subcontractors mentioned. The contract has an ultimate completion date of January 1, 2022.
