About this award
The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) received a $73,559.85 research grant from a civilian federal agency (via the Shared Services Center) on February 3, 2023, to support ground-based validation for ICESat-2 data products and measurements. ICESat-2, operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is a satellite mission that measures ice sheet elevation, sea ice thickness, and vegetation characteristics using laser altimetry technology. Ground-based validation efforts are critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of satellite-derived measurements, typically involving field data collection and comparative analysis at terrestrial test sites. The award has an ultimate completion date of February 1, 2025, and is classified as a research grant with no small business set-aside designation. Work is being performed in Austin, Texas.
As a child entity of the University of Texas System, UT Austin is well-positioned to conduct this validation research given its substantial federal research portfolio and expertise across multiple scientific and technological domains. The university has extensive experience executing federal research awards from civilian agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, and frequently collaborates on space-related research initiatives. This award represents a continuation of UT Austin's contributions to critical NASA mission success through specialized ground-based measurement and validation capabilities.
