This federal contract award, with identification number 80NSSC19K0465, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a world-class private research university. The $471,465.94 grant funds research to characterize the molecular and isotopic biosignatures of microbial ecosystems in the dirty ice environments of the McMurdo Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to identify biosignatures that could inform...
This is a $1,148,591 grant awarded by NASA to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, to study the effects of altered gravity on microbial biofilm formation. The research aims to develop improved methods for microbiological monitoring and contamination control on long-duration human space missions, which is crucial for crew health and safety. The contract supports testing three model microbial systems - E. coli, a Staphylococcus sp....
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...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project. The $194,617.59 grant will fund research to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens in the International Space Station (ISS) habitat and correlate their presence with crew health. The project aims to catalog viruses and...
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 award, valued at $894,246.00, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on cyanobacterial aromatic carotenoids. The research will focus on the biosynthesis, chemical structures, isotopic ordering, taphonomy, and detection of these compounds in the geological record. This is a grant for research with no set-aside designation. MIT, a world-class...
This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC25K7607, was issued by the Shared Services Center (SSC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The $153,802.00 grant is for early-stage feasibility studies of visionary aerospace concepts under the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. NIAC focuses on concepts that may significantly enhance or enable new human or robotic space exploration missions, addressing national...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The $226,523.27 grant is for research related to Distributed Space Missions (DSM), which have mostly been conceptually investigated for Earth science since the late 1990s but have not been systematically integrated into mainstream missions. The interest in...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K0541, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), doing business as MIT. The contract, valued at $448,514.00, is a grant for research to support MIT's Space Enabled Research Group's multi-year experimental investigation into in-space manufacturing of wax. The contract has no set-aside designation. MIT frequently partners with the U.S. federal government, including NASA,...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $248,439.77 grant to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the impact of simulated microgravity conditions on the growth and virulence potential of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The research aims to contribute to a better understanding of how spaceflight environmental conditions affect S. aureus-human interactions, which will inform the development of countermeasures to protect...
