About this award

This federal contract award is a 2-year, $147,673 grant from a civilian government agency to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration and Tools (PDART) pilot project. The project aims to build a complete moving object catalog using data from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Phase I observations. The work will involve developing algorithms for forced photometry of known asteroids, accurate photometry of trailed moving objects, and stacking images to retrieve photometry of fainter objects. The resulting photometric data will be archived at the Planetary Data System (PDS). This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle, indicating UMD's competitive capabilities across technical domains. The work will provide lessons for exploiting future synoptic surveys like the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).
