- The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, was awarded a $113,565.56 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on April 1, 2018 to conduct research on nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technology. The goal of this research is to support NASA's plans for manned deep space missions in the 2030s, as NTP can provide high specific impulse and thrust, enabling reduced trip times beyond low Earth orbit. This grant is part of NASA's efforts to develop technologies that can expand...
- This federal contract award to the University of Tennessee (UT) is intended to support the development of nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technology. The goal is to identify and qualify nuclear fuel form properties through non-nuclear testing, which is essential for modeling fuel behavior and predicting performance. This work supports NASA's objective to expand human presence into the solar system, including a planned human mission to Mars in the 2030s. The $248,157.47 award, funded by NASA, is...
- This is a $342,058 federal grant award to the University of Tennessee, a public land-grant research university, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "UNRAVELING FORMATION PROCESSES OF HYDROTHERMAL AND SECONDARY MINERALS ON MARS USING AN ANDEAN ANALOG". The grant has a performance period ending on May 31, 2026. The University of Tennessee often serves as a prime recipient and collaborates with other academic institutions on federal...
- This is a $514,075 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee to conduct research on "CONSTRAINING THE COMPOSITION OF PRE- TO EARLY NOACHIAN CRUSTAL BLOCKS SURROUNDING ARGYRE, HELLAS, AND ISIDIS." The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. No set-aside designation was noted for this grant. The University of Tennessee is the prime recipient and will be performing the research work at its Knoxville,...
- This is a $327,486.78 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research for research on nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) for space exploration. The project aims to develop multiscale modeling tools to predict the performance of NTP fuel, focusing on the fuel loss model for UO2 cermet fuel that will be extended to UN fuel. This is part of NASA's broader NTP project, which is exploring the feasibility and affordability of NTP engines for missions to Mars and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $261,128.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee, operating as the Univ Tennessee System Office. The contract supports research objectives of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which focuses on studying geophysical and geochemical processes on planetary bodies. As a major public land-grant research university, the University of Tennessee has extensive experience conducting scientific...
- The University of Tennessee, operating through its System Office in Knoxville, Tennessee, was awarded a $594,960 research grant by a civilian federal agency (identified as a Shared Services Center) on February 1, 2022, with a completion date of January 31, 2027. This grant-based contract supports research activities, though the specific research focus—indicated in the government description as relating to liquid environments and extreme cold temperatures on Mars and ocean worlds—appears...
- The University of Tennessee, operating through its System Office in Knoxville, Tennessee, has been awarded a $150,000 grant for research by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, effective January 1, 2026, with completion targeted for December 31, 2028. This non-competitive award supports the execution of a balanced science program informed by discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and congressional...
- The U.S. government awarded a $271,367.63 grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) to conduct research into nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) and nuclear space surface power. NTP is an alternative method of space travel for manned missions beyond low Earth orbit, compared to chemical propulsion. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting USC's status as a large educational institution. USC is a state-controlled institution of higher learning with extensive research...
- The University of Tennessee - Knoxville was awarded a $50,252 cooperative agreement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research on wire-arc additive manufacturing of non-gravity aligned aluminum structures under solicitation CAN 22-235-22-P2 INVITED-0008. As the prime contractor, the University will leverage its expertise in materials science and additive manufacturing to support NASA's exploration objectives. No set-aside designation...
