- This is a $478,227 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) ages of meteorites. CRE ages provide insights into the transit time of small objects from their parent bodies to Earth, which helps validate meteorite delivery models. The grant has a performance period through May 2025. UC Berkeley, a public research university with expertise in space physics research, is the prime...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $475,275.00 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for research related to recent observations from the THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) probes. The research aims to investigate the presence of heavy ions of ionospheric origin mass. The grant is a 5-year contract, running from April 1, 2020 to...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $413,075 grant award from a civilian federal agency (through the Shared Services Center) on October 1, 2021, to conduct research on "Properties of the Suprathermal Ion Population in the Inner Heliosphere During Quiet Times." The research grant, which extends through September 30, 2026, represents a competitive award with no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's selection based on scientific merit. UC Berkeley, a premier...
- This is a $74,927 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on using X-rays and "flash" spectroscopy as a new method to study mass-loss. The grant falls under NASA's Earth Observation (EO) program and has an ultimate completion date of April 11, 2026. UC Berkeley is conducting this research as the prime contractor, and the grant does not have a set-aside designation. The State of...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $381,000 grant award from a civilian federal agency on January 15, 2020, to conduct analysis of solar wind chlorine, cobalt, and iridium in Genesis sapphire samples. This research project is scheduled for completion by January 14, 2025, and will be performed at UC Berkeley's Albany, California facility. The award was made through open competition with no set-aside designation, reflecting the agency's confidence in UC Berkeley's technical...
- This is a $697,413.34 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to study the chemical and isotopic properties of ancient solar system materials, including primitive meteorites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), and compare their formation conditions and early evolution with samples from Comet Wild 2. The grant has two main objectives: 1) Translate recent quantitative titanium and vanadium K-edge oxygen barometers to L2;3 X-ray absorption near-edge...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is to support research on how a planet's interactions with its host star can determine its evolutionary path, specifically focusing on how the plasma environment responds to the star's dynamic radiation and magnetic field. This grant is not set aside for any particular business type. The...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research related to the Hayabusa asteroid sample return mission. The goal is to study the surface history and characterization of the asteroid 25143 Itokawa by analyzing the returned samples. The research involves measuring cosmogenic radionuclides (such as 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and 53Mn) in microgram-sized samples using advanced techniques like...
- This federal contract award, valued at $656,999.19, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The contract is for a research grant titled "DETECTION OF RADIONUCLIDES FROM THE SUN: MEASURING MILLION ATOMS RADIONUCLIDES IN GENESIS MO-PT FOILS" with a completion date of January 31, 2024. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. The...
- This is a $100,474.03 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is part of NASA's Astrophysical Research Program and will directly benefit the agency's Exoplanet Exploration Program, which focuses on discovering and characterizing exoplanets. The contract has no set-aside designation and is for the purpose of conducting research. UC...
This is a $460,840.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the use of the cosmogenic radionuclide iodine-129 to study the history of extraterrestrial materials and cosmic rays. The goals of the research are to: (1) extend the radionuclide timescale to 10-30 million years to constrain the complex exposure histories of large stony meteorites, (2) establish the iodine-129/xenon-129 exposure age dating technique for iron meteorites, and (3) study secular variations of the cosmic ray flux over the past 1 billion years based on iron meteorite exposure ages. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley is the prime recipient, and the parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office, which will administer the funding.
