About this award
Georgia TECH Research Corp, through its Office of Sponsored Programs, was awarded a $846,884 research grant by NASA on May 1, 2023, to develop and deploy advanced chemical sensing instrumentation for the Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality (ASIA-AQ) field mission. The project involves deploying two Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometers (CIMS) equipped with high-resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometers on the NASA DC-8 research aircraft. The first instrument, utilizing SF6- ion chemistry and provided through collaboration with the Korean National Institute for Environmental Research and University of California, Irvine, will measure sulfur dioxide, nitrous acid, pernitric acid, and hydrochloric acid. The second instrument, developed by Georgia Tech, employs I- ion chemistry to measure peroxyacyl nitrates, nitryl chloride, and molecular chlorine. Both instruments represent upgrades from previous DC-8 missions, incorporating enhanced mass spectrometry technology to improve time resolution and reduce measurement interferences.
This grant builds upon the proven collaboration and methodologies established during the Korea-United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) field study, with enhanced capabilities through modern instrumentation and the addition of Dr. Jim Roberts to strengthen data analysis and interpretation. The research supports high-priority atmospheric chemistry observations, with sulfur dioxide designated as Priority 1 and peroxyacyl nitrates and nitrous acid as Priority 2 observations for the ASIA-AQ campaign. The project is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2026, with the place of performance located in Atlanta, Georgia. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition in the solicitation process.
