About this award
This $60,100.77 federal contract award was granted to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project involving broadband observation of a transient ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the galaxy NGC 925 using the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR spacecraft. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is structured as a grant for research, with an ultimate completion date of August 12, 2023. Caltech is a major prime contractor and recipient of federal research grants, having received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards and $50 million in federal grants over the past 5 years to support NASA, Department of Defense, and other agency missions across a range of scientific and technical domains.
Description
