- This is a $2,242,635.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute, a non-profit organization, for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow Up Project Phase V. The grant's objectives are to 1) provide rapid NEO confirmation measurements and 2) observe more than 4,000 NEAs fainter than magnitude 22.0 per year. This grant supports the development and operation of facilities to advance NASA's strategic asteroid monitoring...
- This federal contract award, valued at $766,424.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization. The award is for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow-Up Project Phase IV, which supports ARI's efforts to provide a dedicated, cost-effective NEO follow-up program to assist NASA in cataloging potentially hazardous near-Earth objects. The key objectives of this phase include...
- This is a $630,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, to continue its collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in providing a low-cost Southern Hemisphere near-Earth asteroid (NEA) follow-up program. The Southern Sky Near-Earth Observations (SSNEO) project, which began in 2012, has provided over 80% of all NEA measurements below -20 degrees...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization based in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $177,639 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on January 10, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of January 9, 2027. This grant, which carries no socioeconomic set-aside designation, supports ground-based astronomical observations of near-Earth objects (NEOs) to advance NASA's NEO Science and NEO Rapid Characterization objectives. The work...
- This contract award to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, provides funding for the Southern Hemisphere NEA Follow-Up Program, Southern Sky Near Earth Observations (SSNEO). The program will partner with the University of North Carolina's SKYNET to automate the 1-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) to perform faint near-Earth asteroid (NEA) observations. The $495,792 grant will enable the telescope to produce approximately...
- This is a $215,236.79 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of the grant is to support NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Discovery Program by cataloging and characterizing NEOs that are difficult to comprehensively survey from the ground. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. PSI will provide services such as data analysis, modeling, software...
- The Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division, was awarded a $746,808 grant on January 1, 2022, for a research project titled "Characterization of Near-Earth Objects Using Spitzer NEO Program Data." This grant-funded initiative, which will conclude on June 30, 2026, leverages data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope Near-Earth Object Program to advance scientific understanding of asteroids and other near-Earth objects through...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $253,357.66 grant to the University of Texas at Austin to continue a project focused on providing near-Earth object (NEO) confirmation and follow-up observations. This project supports NASA's mission to discover and catalogue 90% of potentially hazardous NEOs larger than 100 meters in diameter. The university will utilize a new instrument at the McDonald Observatory's 2.1 meter Otto Struve Telescope to conduct high-precision...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $744,406.75 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue their astrometry research on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The grant provides funding to use competitively-allocated telescopes larger than 2 meters in diameter to improve the accuracy of predictions of close approaches and prevent scientifically interesting NEOs from becoming lost. The research focuses on promptly...
