- The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees received a $664,547 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded January 10, 2021, with completion targeted for January 9, 2027. The grant supports new mid-infrared observations of the Moon and Mercury using NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), directly advancing the agency's Solar System Observations program. These observations will enhance scientific understanding of the formation and evolution of these planetary bodies...
- The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees Office of Research (UCF) has been awarded a $132,950.88 grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This grant will support work that will help provide a baseline for visible and near-infrared observations, and the mid-infrared work will lead to testable results that should be observable when the James Webb Space Telescope becomes operational. The grant is a research contract with a period of performance...
- This is a $129,734.49 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida (UCF) for research on understanding the nano-scale cohesive forces that hold together asteroid rubble piles and influence particle motion. The grant is part of NASA's scientific goals to model asteroid surfaces. The contract has no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by February 7, 2024. UCF, a large public research university with extensive...
- The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees, through its Office of Research Division, received a $238.7K research grant award from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with performance at UCF's Alafaya, Florida campus. The grant supports fundamental research on the physical characterization of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects (NEOs) through polarimetric analysis. The research objectives include comprehensive characterization of target NEOs to contextualize...
- This is a $89,043.20 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Central Florida (UCF) Board of Trustees Office of Research to analyze stellar occultation data and incorporate the effect of diffraction into current models. The work is not set aside for any socioeconomic program. UCF is a large public research university with extensive expertise in areas like engineering, computer science, and space technologies. The university regularly collaborates with federal agencies on research and...
- This is a $284,685.94 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida (UCF) on April 1, 2017. The grant's objective is to determine the origin of the near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) currently targeted by spacecraft, including (101955) Bennu, (162173) Ryugu, 2008 EV5, and (65803) Didymos. UCF will use dynamical models and spectral comparisons to study how these NEAs were likely delivered from low-inclination main-belt asteroid...
- This federal contract award to the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees, Office of Research Division (UCF) is for research on the exploration of small solar system bodies such as asteroids and moons. The contract, valued at $198,014.00, is a grant for research with a period of performance ending on March 22, 2026. The award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on March 23, 2021. This contract supports NASA's efforts to further our understanding of the...
This is a 2-year, $158,423 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees Office of Research, doing business as UCF, to create and archive PRIMASS-L, a spectral library containing the results of the Primitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Survey (PRIMASS). This will increase the total amount of near-infrared and visible spectra of asteroids available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) by 44% and 16% respectively. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a large public research university, UCF has extensive expertise across disciplines relevant to this project, including planetary science, optics and photonics, and modeling and simulation. This award is part of UCF's diverse portfolio of federal contract and grant awards with agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, through which the university provides a range of research, engineering, and technical services.
