About this award
The Regents of the University of Colorado at Boulder received a $1.14M research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to develop technology for detecting pilot spatial disorientation during lunar landing operations and triggering active countermeasures in response. Awarded on December 23, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of December 22, 2026, this research contract represents a non-set-aside competitive award that builds upon CU's established expertise in space sciences, human factors research, and mission-critical systems support. The work will be performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus.
This award reflects the university's significant role in supporting NASA's lunar exploration objectives and human spaceflight operations. CU's Office of Contracts and Grants serves as the administering division, leveraging the institution's collaborative partnerships and demonstrated capabilities in aerospace research and development. The four-year research initiative addresses a critical safety and operational challenge in lunar missions, where spatial disorientation poses substantial risks to mission success and crew safety, positioning this research as a foundational contribution to advancing human lunar landing capabilities.
