This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois for a research project to develop a quantitative and qualitative methodology to identify space development architectures that are beneficial and commercially friendly, and analyze their synergistic effects with other government incentives. The $100,000.00 grant is intended to guide NASA in creating an environment that attracts effective contributions from commercial players and investors. The award has no set-aside designation and is a basic research grant rather than a contract for specific products or services. The University of Illinois is the prime grantee and will be responsible for executing the research project.
