About this award
This federal contract award, worth $658,696.00, was granted to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is focused on "Exploring Key Solar System Evolution Processes by Debiasing the Main Asteroid Belt," which involves modeling survey efficiencies, constructing debiased size-frequency distributions, and constraining the shape and spin pole distributions of prominent asteroid families and regions in the main asteroid belt.
The contract leverages archived 12-micron asteroid photometry data from the NEOWISE space mission to support this research, which aims to build more accurate synthetic asteroid models. The work is being conducted as a grant for research, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. The funding is provided by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency within the federal government. This contract does not utilize any set-aside designations.
