About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $251,857.00, was granted to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The award is a grant for research to support the study of light scattering from irregularly shaped particles that resemble lunar regolith, with a focus on the effects of porosity and orientation/observation geometry.
The contract, awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, does not have a set-aside designation, indicating SSI competed based on its scientific and technical capabilities. SSI has a history of providing advanced research, data analysis, and technical services to federal agencies like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE) through both contract awards and grant funding. This contract award demonstrates SSI's expertise in planetary science, atmospheric science, and related computational modeling disciplines.
