- This federal contract award, with the ID 80NSSC18K1276, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The primary objective of the "CubeSat: Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE)" project is to better understand the formation and decay of the inner radiation belt. The contract is a $4,733,530.00 grant for research, with an ultimate completion date of August 11,...
- This is a $443,854 grant awarded by NASA to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to develop and flight-qualify a low-cost distributed network of CubeSat instruments to monitor solar spectral irradiance. The goal is to maintain continuous measurements of this critical input to climate and atmospheric models, addressing potential coverage gaps between the current Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) and the planned NOAA Total Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS)...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, is for the development of planar-antenna-coupled superconducting bolometer arrays for observations at sub-millimeter to millimeter wavelengths. The $990,616 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to create an hierarchical phased array of broadband pixels that can greatly reduce the cost and improve the performance of...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) aims to develop an omnidirectional inter-satellite optical communication device capable of 1 gigabit per second data rates over distances up to 200 kilometers. The project will adapt a dodecahedron geometry design that can fit within a CubeSat and utilize avalanche photodetector arrays and MEMS scanning mirrors for direction-of-arrival calculation and beam steering. The $200,000.00 cooperative agreement, awarded by...
- This federal contract award, valued at $581,072.73, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The award supports research on mitigating systematic effects in the measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which is crucial for detecting the faint signal of primordial gravitational waves that could provide insights into cosmic inflation. The project...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $523,774.36 grant, with a performance period ending on January 17, 2024, will fund a multi-frequency campaign to probe the dynamics and deep atmospheric structure of the planet Uranus. The research aims to leverage observations from ground-based telescopes like the Very Large...
- This federal contract award, valued at $100,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) through a Cooperative Agreement. The contract, part of NASA's BRIAN: Broad-Spectrum Radio Interference Analyzing Nanosatellite program, aims to develop a 3U CubeSat mission to characterize the radio frequency (RF) noise environment in low Earth orbit (LEO). The CubeSat will be developed by the...
- This is a $2,509,212.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University. The award is for the CUBERRT (CUBESAT RADIOMETER RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE TECHNOLOGY VALIDATION) mission, which aims to demonstrate wideband radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation technologies for future space-borne microwave radiometers. The project will integrate a digital backend spectrometer with a wideband radiometer on a 6U CubeSat to detect and...
- This is a $51,000.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on "CONSTRAINING THE MOST EXTREME MASS LOSS EVENTS FROM MASSIVE STARS WITH FERMI AND THE VLA". The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run until July 25, 2026. UC Berkeley, a public research university and 1862 land grant college, has a long history of supporting advanced scientific research for federal agencies across...
- This is a grant award to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the development of focal-plane detector and multiplexed detector technology, as well as mission simulations, for next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization missions. The award, valued at $203,315.66, has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2023. The award was not set aside for any...
This contract award is for the CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE), a two-element radio interferometer designed to fit within a 6U CubeSat platform that will separate into two 3U CubeSats once in orbit. The principal science objective is to use radio interferometry to study radio burst emissions from solar eruptive events in the inner heliosphere, providing observations important for understanding the heliospheric space weather environment. The $4,145,940.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley, a public research university, to conduct this research. The project aims to prove the concept of a dedicated space-based radio interferometer using relatively inexpensive CubeSats, serving as a pathfinder for new space-based radio observation techniques. No set-aside designation is mentioned.
