About this award
The Leland Stanford Junior University was awarded a $583,485.54 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop experimental capabilities for measuring chemical species at realistic atmospheric conditions. This effort directly supports the observational characterization of chemical composition in exoplanet atmospheres, advancing NASA's scientific understanding of planetary systems beyond our solar system. The grant was awarded on January 1, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, and was conducted at Stanford's primary campus in Stanford, California. No set-aside designation was used for this award, indicating open competition among qualified bidders.
As a leading research institution, Stanford University brings substantial expertise in advanced scientific research and instrumentation development to this effort. The university's demonstrated capabilities in space exploration research, computational modeling, and laboratory-based experimental design position it well to develop the specialized measurement techniques required for analyzing exoplanet atmospheric chemistry. This grant represents part of Stanford's broader portfolio of federal research support, which spans multiple scientific disciplines including astrophysics, materials science, and advanced technologies. The work undertaken under this award contributes to NASA's broader mission of characterizing potentially habitable exoplanet environments and advancing knowledge of planetary atmospheres.
Description
