- Portland State University was awarded a $298,737 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on July 19, 2023, to conduct flow-dependent optimization of observation performance in NASA's GEOS Hybrid 4D-ENVAR ADAS (Advanced Data Assimilation System). The project, which is scheduled for completion on July 18, 2026, represents a non-set-aside grant focused on advancing data assimilation methodologies critical to Earth observation and weather prediction capabilities. This research aligns with...
- Portland State University was awarded a $115,525.98 training grant contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop a Leidenfrost Driven Waste-Water Separator (LDS) in response to NASA's Technology Area 6.1 for Environmental Control and Life Support Systems and Habitation Systems. The LDS aims to provide solutions for waste management and water recovery in microgravity environments by leveraging the Leidenfrost effect. The research, to be...
- This is a $207,458.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU), a public research university in Oregon. The grant supports continued research on ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, numerical modeling, and data assimilation. Key objectives include producing highly accurate global tidal atlases, investigating the stationarity of low-mode internal tides, and improving...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University for research related to microgravity bubble transport in an open wedge conduit. The $199,742.20 grant seeks to: (1) complete data reduction of a ~1 terabyte database from the prior CCF-EU2 experiment conducted on the International Space Station, (2) pursue additional science objectives suggested by the CCF database, (3) conduct complementary drop tower tests, (4) apply numerical...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC25K7387, was granted by the Shared Services Center of an unspecified civilian agency to Portland State University (PSU), a public research university located in Portland, Oregon. The $597,747.00 grant is for a 3-year period ending in May 2028 and tasks PSU with executing a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The work will focus on scientific research related to...
- Portland State University received a $339,573.69 research grant from a civilian federal agency (via the Shared Services Center) with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2024. The award, made on February 27, 2019, supports a scientific research project investigating the formation and thermal history of chondrites—meteoritic rocks that are critical to understanding early solar system processes. The project comprises three primary research objectives: testing whether hot chondrules accreted...
- This is a $242,742.04 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University, a U.S. state government and public educational institution, for research related to the potential role of atmospheric aerosols in the origin of life. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The award builds on the work of Carl Woese, who in 1979 proposed a greater role for atmospheric aerosols in the transition from prebiotic to...
- This is a $302,078.02 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to develop a "robust indicator of extreme precipitation over the Continental United States" based on data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) programs. The indicator will categorize extreme precipitation events similar to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, allowing tracking of trends in...
This federal contract award to Portland State University (PSU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for a research grant focused on understanding the fundamental aspects of demisting, or the removal of liquid droplets from gas streams, in a microgravity environment. The $297,409.40 grant aims to investigate phenomena such as droplet impact and capture, filter saturation, and overall system performance, with testing to be conducted at the Dryden Drop Tower at PSU. The research seeks to address challenges in water recovery and management for space travel, where free liquid droplets can be a byproduct of various processes. This work aims to provide critical insights to improve the reliability of demisting systems in microgravity. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is a grant for research, with a period of performance through December 15, 2023.
