About this award
Mississippi State University has been awarded a $149,902 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to support a project titled "Recycling the Radio Spectrum: Enhancing NASA's Earth Observing Systems Products Over Forested Terrain by Direct Measurement of Vegetation Optical Depth." The award, issued on August 16, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of August 15, 2026, funds research aimed at improving Earth observation capabilities by developing direct measurement techniques for vegetation optical depth in forested regions. This research has applications for enhancing NASA's Earth observation data products and supports the agency's broader mission to monitor and understand terrestrial ecosystems. The contract was not subject to any set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive standing for this specialized research effort.
Mississippi State University, a land-grant research institution with extensive experience in federal contract and grant work, is well-positioned to execute this research initiative. The university brings significant expertise in engineering, environmental science, and computational research to address the technical challenges of vegetation measurement from space-based sensors. The project will be performed in Mississippi State, Mississippi, and builds upon MSU's established track record of collaborative research with federal agencies, including previous work with NASA and other major federal sponsors on advanced technological and scientific research initiatives.
