About this award
This is a grant award made by NASA to Michigan State University (MSU) for a project to standardize and calibrate an Arduino-based in-situ soil moisture sensor. The $73,527.58 grant will support activities such as calibrating the sensor across different soil types and locations, developing manuals and tutorials, creating mobile apps, and deploying the sensors through citizen science initiatives. The project aims to leverage MSU's expertise from involvement in the SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) mission to improve the soil moisture measurement capabilities of the new sensor. The award is not set-aside and represents MSU's extensive experience in providing research and development services to federal agencies, including specialized radiation testing for space electronics and agricultural research. MSU frequently serves as both a prime recipient and subcontractor on grants and contracts, demonstrating its diverse research capabilities and strong partnerships with government entities and industry.
Description
The proposal plans to standardize the arduino-based in situ soil moisture sensor by calibrating IT against a variety of soils types and at different geographical locations. The research plan also includes development of manuals, online tutorial and videos, phone apps (for storing and updating the data on the cloud), and deployment of the sensor through citizen scientists participation. The PI and CO-i are part of the smap project and are perfectly placed to leverage the smap resources like core sites datasets for comparison and evaluation with the new soil moisture sensor measurements. Overall, for the success of the project, the outcome of the proposed work will be made available to the citizen scientists and the globe participating schools through the NASA github site.
