About this award
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) received a $717,721 research grant award from the Shared Services Center to characterize single-photon sensing CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) image sensors for NASA missions. The award, announced on November 27, 2023, carries an ultimate completion date of November 26, 2026, and represents an unset-aside grant supporting advanced research and development activities. Work will be performed at RIT's Rochester, New York campus, leveraging the institution's established expertise in imaging science and semiconductor technologies.
This effort supports NASA's mission-critical requirements for advanced sensor development, building on RIT's demonstrated capabilities in sophisticated imaging instrumentation and space technology applications. The single-photon sensing technology represents a significant advancement in detector sensitivity, with potential applications across multiple NASA mission profiles requiring ultra-low-light optical detection. As a private research university with extensive federal contracting experience across multiple agencies, RIT is well-positioned to deliver the technical characterization and validation work necessary to mature this sensor technology for operational space environments.
