About this award

This $649,850 grant award to the University of Houston System, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract is focused on developing advanced networking and communications capabilities to support the "Upcoming Lunar Networking Scenario and Beyond," which envisions the integration of diverse space assets owned by different government and commercial providers. The University of Houston System, which includes the main campus in Houston, Texas, has an extensive history of providing research and development services to federal agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA across a range of scientific and engineering disciplines. This particular grant does not have a set-aside designation. While the University of Houston System has received prior federal sub-awards related to space radiation and risk assessment research, this appears to be a new prime award focused on the technical challenges of coordinating heterogeneous space communication assets.

Description

The upcoming lunar networking scenario and beyond envisions the integration of heterogeneous assets of different governments and commercial providers. The elevated complexity of this scenario removes the determinism that has been so far assumed in the design of space delay
