This federal contract award, identified as NNX16AF99G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) to provide engineering support for the NASA Space Geodesy Project (SGP). The goal of this effort is to develop the next generation of integrated space geodetic technique stations that will combine very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), satellite laser ranging (SLR), global navigation satellite systems (GNSS),...
This federal award to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory division provides a $921,630 grant for research related to the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS). The grant supports the development and maintenance of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), which is a critical infrastructure for measuring global change. The research involves operating a network of ground-based space geodetic techniques like Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Satellite Laser...
This $6,386,438.00 federal grant award to the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) funds the "PICTURE-D: PLANETARY IMAGING CORONAGRAPH TESTBED USING A REUSABLE EXPERIMENT FOR DEBRIS DISKS" research project. The award was made on October 1, 2022 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has a period of performance ending on September 30, 2027. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UML's Office of Research Administration-Lowell will lead the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $153,360 grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to conduct research related to the NISAR satellite's two-frequency (L- and S-band) observing capability. This research will utilize a common electromagnetic model to separate the dependence of the backscatter signature. The award is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UMass, acting through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration,...
This is a $198,115.51 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) to develop a spacecraft design curriculum and CubeSat mission for hands-on undergraduate education. The project, called "Space HAUC", will provide students across different majors the opportunity to gain practical experience in spacecraft and instrument design, development, integration, testing, and operations over...
This federal contract award from the Goddard Space Center, a civilian agency, is for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to provide support for NASA's Space Geodesy Project (SGP). Specifically, MIT will be responsible for the development and maintenance of NASA's Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) stations, the processing of VLBI data, and support for the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS). This is a definitive cost-no-fee contract with a ceiling...
This federal contract award, NNX17AG97G, was granted to the University of Texas at Austin by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the development of a new analysis framework to define, characterize, and estimate inter-system ties at the mm-level accuracy for a network of geodetic instruments at the McDonald Geodetic Observatory (MGO). The $447,085.48 grant is intended to enable the integration of data from multiple geodetic techniques, including satellite laser ranging...
