Princeton University, which is registered in SAM.gov as a non-profit educational institution, will perform the work in Princeton, NJ. The contract was awarded on April 1, 2020 by the Shared...
This federal contract award to The Trustees of Princeton University supports the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) extended mission. The IBEX spacecraft, in excellent health, is operated by Princeton University under a $1,398,161.54 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The extended mission will continue to provide global imaging of the heliospheric boundary and coordinate observations with the Voyager spacecraft as they sample the local interstellar medium....
This is a $441,830.24 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University for research on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and their effects on astronauts and spacecraft beyond Earth's magnetic field. The goal is to improve the reliability of space weather forecasts for predicting SEP events. This is not a set-aside contract. Princeton University, a leading private research university, will leverage its expertise in areas like quantum...
This is a $412,396.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University Office of Research and Project Administration. The research seeks to investigate the temporal evolution of the heliospheric energetic neutral atom (ENA) spectrum to understand its origin as a function of radial distance from the Sun. The award has no set-aside designation and is a direct grant to Princeton University, a private educational...
