About this award
Brigham Young University was awarded a $320,048 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center on August 29, 2024, to advance origami-based deployable space systems technology. This unfunded, unrestricted award supports research aimed at achieving unprecedented precision in origami-inspired design methodologies that enable compact stowage and large-scale deployment capabilities. The technology addresses a critical challenge in space systems development, as sensors, optics, and instruments frequently face constraints on transport volume while requiring substantial apertures to optimize power and resolution performance. The project will be conducted at BYU's Provo, Utah campus with an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2028.
The grant represents BYU's continued engagement with NASA on advanced engineering research initiatives within the space technology domain. As a comprehensive research university with established expertise in aerospace systems and engineering innovation, BYU has a demonstrated track record of delivering specialized technical research and scientific advancement to federal agencies. The origami-based deployable systems research aligns with NASA's broader objectives to develop innovative technologies that enhance space mission capabilities while reducing launch constraints and expanding the functional potential of next-generation space instruments and sensors.
