About this award
Metacept, Inc. received a $1.52 million research grant (22-ACT22-0057) from NASA's Shared Services Center to develop a W-Band Metasurface Cloud Sensor as part of the Metasurface Antenna for Cloud-Targeting Radar (MACTRAD) program. The four-year effort, which began in 2022 and concludes by September 2026, is being performed in Durham, North Carolina. This award supports Metacept's specialization in metamaterials research and development, focusing on transitioning advanced antenna and radar technologies to operational applications for improved cloud remote sensing capabilities aligned with NASA's earth science objectives.
The contract represents no set-aside designation and reflects NASA's continued investment in Metacept's metamaterials expertise, following prior awards including a $927,108 research grant for W-Band cloud sensor development and a $124,852 Small Business Innovation Research Phase I award for low-power transceiver systems. The MACTRAD program demonstrates the agency's commitment to advancing space-based remote sensing technology through innovative metamaterial solutions that enhance the capability to monitor and characterize cloud formations for meteorological and climate research applications.
