This federal contract award, NNX16AG27G, is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), specifically the RFCUNY - Lehman College. The award, valued at $168,291.93, supports the continued development and testing of instrumentation for the Extreme Universe Space Observatory on the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EUSO) mission. This includes analyzing data from a recent successful stratospheric balloon...
This is a $1,820,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Colorado School of Mines to design, build, deploy, and publish scientific results for the second generation of the Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO-SPB2) to be flown aboard a super-pressure balloon. The EUSO-SPB2 instrument will monitor the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere to study cosmic rays of very high to ultra-high energies and pioneer the search for cosmogenic tau neutrinos...
This is a $1,481,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to design, build, deploy, and publish the scientific results of a second generation of the Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) to be flown aboard a super-pressure balloon (SPB). The EUSO-SPB2 instrument will monitor the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere to study cosmic rays of very high to ultrahigh energies and pioneer the search for...
This $3,751,394.00 federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for the "EUSO-SPB2 (EXTREME UNIVERSE SPACE OBSERVATORY ON A SUPER PRESSURE BALLOON 2ND GENERATION) FROM FLIGHT TO SCIENCE RESULTS" project. The grant supports the University of Chicago's research on a second-generation extreme universe space observatory mounted on a super pressure balloon. The award has a period of performance ending on July 31, 2025....
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $499,624 grant to the University of Chicago to support high energy neutrino astrophysics research. The grant will be used to develop an interferometric phased array trigger system for balloon-borne and ground-based experiments to detect ultra-high energy cosmogenic neutrinos and cosmic rays. This research aims to explore the structure and evolution of the universe, as well as the physics inside astrophysical sources that...
This is a $2,315,204.58 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Princeton University, through its Office of Research and Project Administration, to develop and fly a diffraction-limited imaging instrument on a mid-latitude super-pressure balloon platform. The instrument will have a half-degree field of view and 0.3-arcsecond resolution, enabling transformative research in areas like exoplanet detection and weak gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters. The...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $460,000.00 grant to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the Particle Astrophysics with the Payload for Ultrahigh Energy Observations (PUEO), a next-generation long-duration balloon-borne instrument for the cosmic high energy frontier. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, was awarded on March 2, 2020 with a completion date of March 1, 2022. The University of Chicago, a leading academic and research...
