About this award
Wichita State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs was awarded a $1.28 million research grant by a civilian federal agency effective October 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports the development of a neutrino detector designed for a spacecraft undertaking a science mission to fly close to the Sun and study its nuclear core while searching for and analyzing the neutrino gravitational lens phenomenon in the 20 to 50 astronomical unit range near the Galactic Core, the second brightest neutrino source in the sky. The work is being performed in Wichita, Kansas, and the contract does not include any set-aside designation.
This grant represents continued federal investment in WSU's research capabilities and aligns with the university's established expertise in advanced scientific instrumentation and experimental research through its Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. WSU's strong track record in aerospace-related research and technical services, supported by its National Institute for Aviation Research infrastructure, positions it well to deliver the sophisticated instrumentation development required for this solar science mission. The extended performance timeline through 2026 reflects the complexity of developing and validating specialized detection equipment for space-based applications.
Description
This is a proposal for the development of a neutrino detector for a spacecraft that has a science mission to fly close to the sun and study the nuclear furnace core and search for and study the neutrino gravitational lens at 20 to 50 AU of the 2ND
