This grant...
- This is a $281,057.72 contract awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado to develop technology for producing methane and oxygen from Martian resources using co-electrolysis with task-specific ionic liquids. The goal is to advance this technology from Technology Readiness Level 2 to 4, demonstrating the feasibility of a low-fidelity system and positioning it for further refinement and integration into in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) systems for future crewed missions to Mars. The contract...
- This is a $381,332.00 grant awarded by the U.S. government's Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research enabling magnetic studies of samples returned from the Mars 2020 rover mission. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type, allowing MIT's expertise as a leading private research university to be leveraged. MIT also holds an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Defense...
- This federal contract award is for a $250,000.00 grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on "EXTENDED CFD METHODOLOGY FOR CRYOGENIC PROPELLANT MANAGEMENT IN LOW-GRAVITY CONDITIONS". The grant does not have a set-aside designation. MIT, a private university, will conduct the research work under this 2-year grant that runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. This research supports NASA's work...
- This is a federal training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on August 1, 2018. The purpose of the $194,624.44 grant is to develop a new approach for the design of space systems that can take advantage of the relaxed design constraints enabled by in-space manufacturing (ISM) technology. The grant seeks to analyze the maximum allowable ISM facility cost and minimum required...
- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), doing business as MIT, was awarded a $267,319 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to perform testing related to the giant impact origin of the Mars hemispheric dichotomy through novel models of impact dynamics and post-impact crustal flow. The place of performance will be in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the period of performance is from August 15, 2023 through August 14, 2026. The...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The grant, valued at $104,928.26, supports research in the hyperarid and perchlorate-rich regions of the Atacama Desert in Chile, which serve as a terrestrial analog for Mars. The research aims to study the presence of indigenous microbial communities that are periodically active during...
This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research related to in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technology. Specifically, the contract supports the development and testing of the Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) instrument, which is a payload for the NASA Mars 2020 rover that will produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere. The research under this $289,452.38 training grant contract aims to improve the software model of MOXIE, compare the performance of an engineering model to the software predictions, and explore the potential scale-up and extensibility of the ISRU system. This work supports NASA's goals for sustainable space exploration by demonstrating the capability to produce oxygen from local Martian resources, reducing the reliance on materials launched from Earth. There is no set-aside designation for this contract, and the period of performance extends through January 5, 2023.
