About this award
The Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a Tucson, Arizona-based non-profit research organization, received a $4.46 million grant from a civilian federal agency for the development of the Ultraviolet Micromirror Imaging Spectrograph (UMIS). The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, with a completion date of August 31, 2027, supports PSI's work in advanced scientific instrumentation for planetary science research. This non-set-aside award reflects PSI's demonstrated technical merit and competitive capabilities in developing sophisticated instruments for space exploration and astronomical observation. The work will be performed at PSI's headquarters location in Tucson, Arizona.
UMIS represents a specialized imaging spectrograph instrument designed for ultraviolet observations, aligning with PSI's extensive expertise in scientific instrument development and mission support for planetary exploration programs. The four-year development period indicates a comprehensive engineering and research effort to design, develop, and likely validate this advanced optical instrumentation. As a prime contractor on this grant, PSI will leverage its established capabilities in theoretical modeling, software development, and scientific research to deliver this innovative imaging technology, which would support future space missions requiring ultraviolet spectroscopic analysis of planetary, lunar, or astronomical targets.
