About this award
NASA awarded a $508,358 research grant to San Diego State University Foundation (doing business as San Diego State University Research Foundation) on July 1, 2022, for the FIGARO-FT project, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. The contract is not set aside and will be performed in San Diego, California. The project aims to advance the technology readiness level of high-performance, low-cost relay technologies that leverage commercial 5G chipset developments for potential integration into NASA's future LunaNet communications architecture. Given that 5G spectrum shares Ka-band frequencies with NASA space communications systems, the initiative seeks to exploit rapid commercial development cycles and economies of scale to produce space-qualified communications technology, provided the candidate solutions meet both performance and environmental requirements for operation in the space environment.
San Diego State University Research Foundation, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, serves as an auxiliary organization supporting the university's research mission and regularly receives federal research awards and contracts across multiple agencies. The foundation brings multidisciplinary expertise in engineering, computer science, and technical research that aligns well with advanced communications systems development. This award represents part of NASA's broader effort to develop cost-effective, commercially-derived technologies that can support lunar and deep-space communications infrastructure modernization under the LunaNet initiative.
