The contract, which runs through July 31, 2025, supports research on the polarization of solar light scattered by lunar regolith, a key topic for understanding the Moon's surface characteristics. As a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, UCSC has extensive expertise in astrophysics, space exploration, and other federally-funded scientific initiatives. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UCSC's status as a large research institution that frequently receives prime federal awards and serves as a subcontractor on Department of Defense projects. UCSC's parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office, which has also participated in various federal contract and grant programs, including in support of defense-related technical services and scientific research.
