About this award
This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on "TESTING THE IMPACT PLASMA HYPOTHESIS FOR MAGNETIZATION ON THE MOON AND ASTEROIDS." The $150,000.00 grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating MIT was competitively selected for this research based on its broad scientific and technological capabilities. MIT holds an Other Transaction Authority contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) valued at approximately $2 million, which provides a flexible mechanism for supporting MIT's cutting-edge research across defense-related domains. MIT's extensive experience in areas like space exploration, materials science, and quantum technologies make it well-suited to deliver on this lunar and asteroid magnetization research for the government.
