About this award
The University of California, Berkeley received a $381,000 grant award from a civilian federal agency on January 15, 2020, to conduct analysis of solar wind chlorine, cobalt, and iridium in Genesis sapphire samples. This research project is scheduled for completion by January 14, 2025, and will be performed at UC Berkeley's Albany, California facility. The award was made through open competition with no set-aside designation, reflecting the agency's confidence in UC Berkeley's technical capabilities to deliver this specialized analytical research.
The Genesis mission, a NASA Discovery Program mission, collected solar wind samples using sapphire collectors during its approximately five-year orbital mission. This grant supports post-mission analysis of those samples, contributing to scientific understanding of solar wind composition and the early solar system. UC Berkeley's award continues the university's established role as a premier federal research partner, particularly for NASA and other agencies conducting advanced scientific investigations across space exploration, materials characterization, and fundamental physics research domains.
