About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $964,178 grant to The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees (UCF) for research related to the Arecibo Planetary Radar. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund physical and dynamical characterization of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) using the Arecibo Observatory through December 2026. As the prime contractor, UCF will leverage its Office of Research and the planetary radar capabilities at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, a NASA facility for radio astronomy and planetary radar research, to further the agency's goals of cataloging potential Earth-impacting asteroids. The research aims to advance scientific understanding of NEAs to help inform NASA's planetary defense strategy.
