This federal contract award, valued at $3,568,871.00, was granted to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on January 27, 2020. The contract supports the ICESat-2 mission, which was successfully launched in September 2018 and is using state-of-the-art laser altimeter technology to study the Earth's surfaces. UT Austin ARL, a division of the University of Texas System, is a leading research...
This federal contract award, NNX17AF59G, was made by NASA to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) division, which is a research organization within the University of Texas System. The contract, valued at $1,953,904.82, supports the ICESat-2 Precision Pointing Determination (PPD) mission by delivering software development, testing, and on-orbit support for the spacecraft's geolocation capabilities. The work builds upon existing ICESat algorithms...
The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) has been awarded a $73,559.85 firm-fixed-price grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct ground-based validation of data products and measurements from NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. As the prime contractor, UT Austin will leverage its expertise in earth science research to validate satellite laser altimetry data collected by ICESat-2 and produce...
This federal contract award, NNX17AB50G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) to support the creation of the ICESat-2 ATL18 algorithm theoretical basis. The key objective is to develop accurate global products of terrain heights, canopy heights, and canopy cover at moderate spatial resolution to support terrestrial and climate studies. The $149,904.21 grant will leverage data...
This is a $134,914.15 federal contract award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Texas at Austin's Applied Research Laboratories Division (UT Austin ARL). The objective of the project is to develop data sets and assess the performance of the ATL08 algorithms for the ICESat-2 ATLAS instrument in a variety of ecosystems, as the existing photon counting data has been limited. The contract leverages existing small-footprint, full-waveform and dense discrete...
This $148,038.31 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) Applied Research Laboratories (ARL) Division. The purpose of the grant is to develop a methodology for producing a gridded global terrain and canopy height product from the data collected by the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. The objectives include analyzing and visualizing the ICESat-2...
This is a $228,864 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to support the development of the ICESat-2 ATL08 and ATL18 data products. ICESat-2 is a NASA satellite mission focused on measuring changes in the Earth's ice sheets, sea ice, vegetation, and more. UT Austin, a major public research university, is serving as the prime contractor on this grant. The University of Texas System, the...
This federal contract award supports continued development of the ATL08 algorithm for the NASA ICESat-2 satellite mission. The $145,484 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories Division. The purpose is to ensure continuity of personnel working on the ATL08 algorithm and build confidence that it is ready to process the large volume of data once ICESat-2 begins...
