- This federal contract award, valued at $766,424.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization. The award is for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow-Up Project Phase IV, which supports ARI's efforts to provide a dedicated, cost-effective NEO follow-up program to assist NASA in cataloging potentially hazardous near-Earth objects. The key objectives of this phase include...
- This is a $630,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, to continue its collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in providing a low-cost Southern Hemisphere near-Earth asteroid (NEA) follow-up program. The Southern Sky Near-Earth Observations (SSNEO) project, which began in 2012, has provided over 80% of all NEA measurements below -20 degrees...
- This is a $215,236.79 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of the grant is to support NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Discovery Program by cataloging and characterizing NEOs that are difficult to comprehensively survey from the ground. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. PSI will provide services such as data analysis, modeling, software...
- This contract is a $618,720 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a private non-profit organization. The grant funds the operation and enhancement of the Las Cumbres Observatory network, a distributed system of 25 telescopes at 7 sites worldwide. This network is being used to conduct follow-up observations and characterization of near-Earth objects (NEOs), including asteroids, comets,...
- This is a $1,403,763.34 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for the "SPACEWATCH OBSERVATIONS OF NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS" project. The grant will fund the continuation of the Spacewatch program, which specializes in follow-up astrometry and photometry of asteroids and comets, with an emphasis on near-Earth objects (NEOs). The project supports NASA's NEO search campaign by providing targeted observations of newly discovered...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $253,357.66 grant to the University of Texas at Austin to continue a project focused on providing near-Earth object (NEO) confirmation and follow-up observations. This project supports NASA's mission to discover and catalogue 90% of potentially hazardous NEOs larger than 100 meters in diameter. The university will utilize a new instrument at the McDonald Observatory's 2.1 meter Otto Struve Telescope to conduct high-precision...
- 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...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to characterize the material properties of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and main belt asteroids and develop technology to scale up the measurement of pre-atmospheric orbits of meteorite falls. The goal is to compare the orbital elements of different meteorite types to dynamical models of the orbital evolution of small asteroids, in order to statistically...
- This is a $735,611 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona to continue research on the physical characterization of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) less than 150 meters in diameter. The research objectives are to determine the rotation state, surface composition, and physical properties such as albedo and diameter of 144 small NEAs using photometric and spectroscopic observations with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. This work...
- This is a $445,911 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, a non-profit research organization. The grant is for the development of "A STATISTICALLY SOUND MODEL FOR ASTROMETRIC UNCERTAINTIES TO IMPROVE NEO ORBIT ACCURACY", which involves improving the accuracy of near-Earth object (NEO) orbit predictions. The award has a period of performance ending on March...
