About this award
The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization based in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $177,639 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on January 10, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of January 9, 2027. This grant, which carries no socioeconomic set-aside designation, supports ground-based astronomical observations of near-Earth objects (NEOs) to advance NASA's NEO Science and NEO Rapid Characterization objectives. The work will focus on characterizing the shapes and spin properties of target asteroids through observational data analysis, contributing to the agency's broader initiatives to understand and catalog near-Earth asteroids.
The award leverages the SETI Institute's established expertise in astronomical research, data analysis, and planetary science. As a registered federal research partner since 2004, the institute brings significant technical capabilities in computational modeling and scientific investigation to this characterization effort. The multi-year performance schedule reflects the sustained observational and analytical work required to develop comprehensive asteroid profiles, with findings expected to enhance NASA's understanding of NEO properties relevant to planetary defense and space exploration planning.
Description
This proposal is relevant to the NEO science and NEO rapid characterization yorpd objectives. IT will use ground-based astronomical observations of neos to provide information on the shapes and spins of the target asteroids.
