UCSB has previously conducted...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara has been awarded a $331,134 research grant by a civilian federal agency to explore powder synthesis and additive manufacturing of refractory metal alloys for space nuclear propulsion systems. The work, to be performed in Santa Barbara, California, will conclude by August 28, 2028. This non-competitive grant supports fundamental research addressing a critical technology gap, as space nuclear propulsion systems have been identified as essential for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $899,981.92, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to empower NASA scientists to work with NASA data on the cloud. The project aims to develop co-created community practices and resources that build on existing efforts in scientific coding, cloud computing, open science, and community engagement. As a public research university, UCSB has extensive expertise in various...
- This is a training grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on digital lattice materials for reconfigurable space structures. The award aims to characterize the fracture and fatigue properties of these advanced materials, which could enable lighter, stronger, and more reliable structures for future deep space exploration missions. The $122,461.48 grant supports experimental investigation into the failure mechanisms, fracture toughness, and...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), through its Office of Research, was awarded a $600,000.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a team of highly mobile robots capable of self-anchoring and applying significant forces to the environment in a coordinated manner. This contract, awarded on October 19, 2020, is set to run until March 31, 2025. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating that UCSB competed for this...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) has been awarded a $444,378 prime contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research complementing larger scale simulations via wind tunnel or idealized simulations. As a minority institution, U.S. state government entity, and 1862 land grant college located in Santa Barbara, California, UCSB will leverage its expertise in fundamental and unclassified research across science,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on the South American Low-Level Jet (SALLJ) and its impact on precipitation. The contract is a grant for research, with no set-aside designation, and the ultimate completion date is October 3, 2026. UCSB, operating through its Office of Research, is a public research university with expertise in areas...
- This federal contract award, valued at $400,490.91, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to expand on their previous research into using directed energy for interstellar propulsion. The work, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to develop a roadmap and build a prototype phased array to test concepts for achieving relativistic flight speeds needed for interstellar missions. UCSB, as a public...
This federal contract award, valued at $313,489, was granted by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on crack behavior in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) used in spacecraft structures. The project aims to leverage recent advances in X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and machine learning techniques to develop characterization tools and gain fundamental insights into the failure mechanisms of CMCs in high-radiation, high-temperature environments. The research is intended to support NASA engineers in designing against these failure modes. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation, indicating it was competed on an open basis. UCSB, a public research university with expertise in materials science, quantum computing, and defense-related R&D, frequently collaborates with other leading academic institutions on federally funded research projects.
