The $1,851,031 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund research to study cosmic rays and neutrinos using Cherenkov and fluorescence observation techniques. EUSO-SPB2 is a pathfinder effort for the potential future...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) on behalf of Lehman College. The $514,051.61 grant supports Lehman College's role as a co-investigator on the Extreme Universe Space Observatory Super-Pressure Balloon 2 (EUSO-SPB2) project, which is led by the University of Chicago. The EUSO-SPB2 project aims to design, build, deploy, and publish scientific results from a second-generation...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $3,751,394.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the EUSO-SPB2 (Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon 2nd Generation) project. The grant, awarded on August 1, 2022, has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026. The project involves research and development activities from flight to science results for the second-generation Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon....
- The University of Utah has been awarded a $131,380 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a comprehensive simulation package for measuring cosmic neutrinos. This package will model neutrino interactions, air shower signals, and atmospheric effects to support NASA's current and future experimental efforts in cosmic neutrino detection, including ANITA, EVA, EUSO-SPB2, and the POEMMA Astrophysics Probe. The goal is to provide a tool for the research...
- Georgia TECH Research Corp, the research arm of Georgia Institute of Technology, received a $1.65M grant award (20-APRA20-0077) on January 10, 2022, to conduct ultra-high-energy neutrino searches using air-shower imaging from the EUSO-SPB2 (Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super-Pressure Balloon 2) mission. This civilian research effort, funded through a Shared Services Center, is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026, with performance conducted at Georgia Tech's Atlanta, GA...
- 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...
- This is a $87,676 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to advance the understanding of particle energization and transport processes throughout the heliosphere. The research aims to study energetic particle dynamics from the Earth's magnetosphere to the outer boundaries of the heliosphere, with applications to astrophysical processes beyond our solar system. UAH, a public research university, will utilize its...
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 cosmogenic tau neutrinos from space. EUSO-SPB2 will be a pathfinder for the more ambitious space-based Probe of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) mission currently proposed for a NASA design study. This grant does not have a set-aside designation and is being awarded under NASA's broader mission to discover how the universe works, explore how it began and evolved, and understand the physics of the cosmos.
