About this award
The University of Connecticut (UConn) has been awarded a $119,695 grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to support the operationalization and sustained enhancement of the Fmask 5 algorithm for cloud screening capabilities under NASA's Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) mission. This research grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, represents a continuation of critical work to advance cloud detection and screening functionality in satellite imagery processing. The work will be performed at UConn's Storrs, Connecticut campus and involves the university's Office Sponsored Programs division. This is a non-set-aside grant awarded under a civilian federal agency funding mechanism, leveraging UConn's established expertise in space and planetary research as a 1862 land-grant research institution.
As a prominent research university with a proven track record of executing complex federal research initiatives, UConn brings substantial capability to this NASA-funded effort. The Fmask algorithm represents a critical component of the HLS mission's data processing infrastructure, which provides harmonized surface reflectance data by combining Landsat 8 and 9 observations with Sentinel-2 imagery for Earth observation applications. By advancing the operationalization and enhancement of this cloud screening tool, the university's work will contribute to improving the quality and utility of satellite-derived Earth surface data for climate monitoring, environmental assessment, and natural resource management applications across the scientific community and federal agencies.
