About this award
This is a $391,838 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the non-profit organization Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc. (LCO) to support research on the ongoing evolution of the Didymos asteroid system, which is relevant to the HERA mission. The award does not have a set-aside designation. LCO is a non-profit organization based in Goleta, California that operates a global network of robotic telescopes for astronomical research and education. While LCO has primarily played a subcontractor role for federal contracts, this appears to be a direct grant award from NASA to support the organization's scientific research capabilities, which includes expertise in time-domain astronomy, multi-messenger observations, and investigations of asteroid systems like Didymos. The award has an ultimate completion date of December 2, 2028.
