About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $70,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency (identified as Shared Services Center) to conduct precise exoplanet transit observations using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) 20-second cadence data. The contract, designated 21-TESS21-0018, is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026, with work to be performed in Honolulu, Hawaii. This award supports astronomical research aligned with NASA's exoplanet science objectives, leveraging TESS mission data to characterize planetary systems around bright stars. The contract was not designated with a set-aside classification and represents the university's continued engagement in space exploration research.
As a child contract under the University of Hawaii Systems parent entity, this award reflects the university's established role as a critical federal research partner with demonstrated expertise in astronomical research and planetary science. The University of Hawaii at Manoa maintains substantial federal partnerships, including a major $85.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA for managing and operating the Infrared Telescope Facility. This exoplanet transit research grant complements the university's broader portfolio of NASA-funded space and planetary research initiatives and contributes to advancing scientific understanding of distant planetary systems through analysis of high-precision observational data.
