- The Regents of the University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $3,794,546.09 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop, launch, and operate a CubeSat mission called the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE). The objective is to study the atmospheric properties of exoplanets orbiting other stars, particularly focusing on phenomena such as atmospheric mass-loss, interaction with the host star, and...
- This is a four-year, $2,749,735.61 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectrophotometry investigation of nearby B-stars. The research aims to provide insights into the reionization of the early universe by making critical observations in the 700-900 Angstrom waveband, which has never been observed for B-stars. The project will develop a sounding rocket payload called DEUCE...
- This federal contract award is for the development of a concept for the Galaxy Evolution Probe, a far-infrared NASA astrophysics probe. The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded this $113,434.84 grant to conduct research and analysis to define the science goals, telescope requirements, and observatory design for the Galaxy Evolution Probe. The goal is to characterize the evolution of star formation...
- This is a $1,430,834.28 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to develop advanced ultra-violet (UV) spectrograph grating technology. The purpose is to advance electron beam lithography methods to fabricate high-efficiency, low-scatter UV diffraction gratings to at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. This work will directly support future large space telescope concepts like the Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR)...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded a $361,599.67 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop advanced ultraviolet spectrograph designs for future space astronomy missions. The goal is to create holographically corrected echelle grating designs that can provide enhanced sensitivity, resolution, and multi-object capabilities compared to current state-of-the-art instruments. This work will support the design of ultraviolet spectrographs...
- Photon Systems, Inc., a small business, received a $872,984 grant from NASA to develop a deep ultraviolet (DUV) light emitting triode (LET) source emitting in the 230-240 nm spectral range. This DUV-LET technology is intended to enable new compact trace organic and water ice detection instruments for future NASA lander missions to ocean worlds, primitive bodies, and asteroids. The DUV-LET source, which is over 250 times smaller and lighter than the DUV laser currently used on the Mars 2020...
- This is a $836,502.41 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant is intended to develop a proof-of-concept ultraviolet (UV) imaging spectrograph instrument for potential use in future planetary science missions. The proposed instrument would utilize digital micromirror arrays to address limitations of current state-of-the-art UV spectrometers used on missions like Juno, Rosetta, and...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $237,928.61 grant from NASA to produce enhanced data products for the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) instrument. The goal is to make the UVIS data more user-friendly by pre-calculating geometric parameters, applying default calibrations, and providing analysis tools in Python and IDL. This will allow researchers beyond the UVIS team to more easily access and utilize the data for studies related to Saturn, its atmosphere, and its rings....
- This is a federal contract awarded by NASA Ames Research Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to perform the Phase A definition effort for the ARCUS X-ray grating spectroscopy explorer mission. The $25,707,536.72 contract will fund detailed mission planning, risk assessment, and preparation of a Concept Study Report to be submitted to the Explorers Program Office. Key subcontractors include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Pennsylvania State University...
- This is a $3,256,304.08 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for research related to understanding the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation output of nearby stars and its impact on exoplanet atmospheres. The grant will fund two additional flights of the Dual-channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment (DEUCE) payload to (1) complete an ionizing radiation census of local B-stars and (2) obtain the first EUV spectra of the nearest main-sequence stars, including potential...
