The U.S. government agency NASA has awarded a $391,838 grant to Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a non-profit organization, to conduct research on the ongoing evolution of the Didymos system for the HERA mission. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for scientific research to be performed through July 2029. Las Cumbres Observatory has a history of supporting NASA and NSF programs, including the DART mission and research related to supernovae,...
This is a $630,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, to continue its collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in providing a low-cost Southern Hemisphere near-Earth asteroid (NEA) follow-up program. The Southern Sky Near-Earth Observations (SSNEO) project, which began in 2012, has provided over 80% of all NEA measurements below -20 degrees...
This is a $2,242,635.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute, a non-profit organization, for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow Up Project Phase V. The grant's objectives are to 1) provide rapid NEO confirmation measurements and 2) observe more than 4,000 NEAs fainter than magnitude 22.0 per year. This grant supports the development and operation of facilities to advance NASA's strategic asteroid monitoring...
This is a $198,188 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a non-profit organization, to conduct ultraviolet photometry of 60 supernovae over a 2-year period. The grant is part of NASA's broader Global Supernova Project, which is collecting optical and infrared data on supernovae. No set-aside designation is mentioned. Las Cumbres Observatory has previously received federal funding from NASA and...
This federal contract award, NNX15AC97G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a private non-profit organization, to conduct research related to the detection and characterization of exoplanets beyond the "snow line" of planetary systems. The $480,898.50 grant is part of NASA's "Discovering and Understanding Exoplanets Beyond the Snowline" program, which aims to explore the colder...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $253,357.66 grant to the University of Texas at Austin to continue a project focused on providing near-Earth object (NEO) confirmation and follow-up observations. This project supports NASA's mission to discover and catalogue 90% of potentially hazardous NEOs larger than 100 meters in diameter. The university will utilize a new instrument at the McDonald Observatory's 2.1 meter Otto Struve Telescope to conduct high-precision...
This is a $565,916.11 grant awarded by NASA to Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc., a private non-profit organization that operates a global telescope network. The grant supports the development of a two-stage detection and classification system to analyze data from the upcoming WFIRST mission's microlensing survey. This will help identify exoplanets in the gap between previous detection methods. The project also involves analyzing data from Las Cumbres' existing...
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $744,406.75 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue their astrometry research on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The grant provides funding to use competitively-allocated telescopes larger than 2 meters in diameter to improve the accuracy of predictions of close approaches and prevent scientifically interesting NEOs from becoming lost. The research focuses on promptly...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $6,972,009.86 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to continue operating the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) telescopes for near-Earth object (NEO) detection and tracking. The CSS is a major contributor to NASA's efforts to identify and monitor NEOs that could pose an impact risk to Earth. Under this grant, the University of Arizona will upgrade the CSS 1.0-meter telescope, increase...
This contract award to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, provides funding for the Southern Hemisphere NEA Follow-Up Program, Southern Sky Near Earth Observations (SSNEO). The program will partner with the University of North Carolina's SKYNET to automate the 1-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) to perform faint near-Earth asteroid (NEA) observations. The $495,792 grant will enable the telescope to produce approximately...
