- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, for an experimental demonstration of multi-frequency, multi-polarization signals of opportunity sensing of root-zone soil moisture. The award is for a research grant with an ultimate completion date of October 3, 2026. No set-aside designation was used. Purdue University, as...
- This is a $2,206,884.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Purdue University for the "Signals of Opportunity: P-Band Investigation (SNOOPI)" project. The objective is to demonstrate an innovative instrument that can measure root-zone soil moisture and snow water equivalent from space using P-band signals of opportunity, which reuse existing telecommunications satellite signals instead of requiring a dedicated radar transmitter. This is a...
- This $90,000.00 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution, to conduct research on agricultural drought, which is described as one of the most severe natural disasters affecting many aspects of life and the environment. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. Purdue University, as the prime contractor, will leverage its expertise in areas such as agricultural...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a public land-grant research university. The grant is for a research project titled "Orbit Determination for Inland and Coastal Altimetry Using Wideband Signals of Opportunity (SOOP)." The project aims to develop techniques for using alternative radio signals, rather than dedicated altimetry satellites, to measure water levels in inland and...
- Purdue University, a 1862 land grant college and educational institution, was awarded a $822,892.78 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a deployable broadband antenna covering the P/L radio frequency bands (137-380 MHz) for use in a constellation of small satellite instruments employing signal-of-opportunity reflectometry (SOOP) to measure soil moisture and other surface parameters. The effort will mature the antenna technology from Technology Readiness...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University. The grant, valued at $764,984, is focused on investigating the relationship between soil moisture and the initiation of deep convection, which is not well understood. The project will use the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission data, along with in-situ soil moisture data and radar observations, to evaluate whether deep convection...
- This federal contract award, valued at $448,025.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit research institution and 1862 land grant college. The award is for a research grant to generate fundamental knowledge of plant-microbe interactions that is important for understanding plant production in space, consistent with the goals of NASA's Plant Biology element in the Space Biology Science Plan 2016-2025. The award does not utilize...
- This is a $280,415.69 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University for research to improve estimates of hyperresolution root zone soil moisture. The research aims to develop a high-resolution hydrological modeling system to better characterize soil moisture and its impact on local weather, climate, and water resources management. The project will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, as well as...
- This is a grant award made by NASA to Michigan State University (MSU) for a project to standardize and calibrate an Arduino-based in-situ soil moisture sensor. The $73,527.58 grant will support activities such as calibrating the sensor across different soil types and locations, developing manuals and tutorials, creating mobile apps, and deploying the sensors through citizen science initiatives. The project aims to leverage MSU's expertise from involvement in the SMAP (Soil Moisture Active...
- Purdue University received a $150,000 research grant from a Shared Services Center (civilian agency) awarded on September 1, 2023, with a completion date of August 31, 2026. The grant supports research titled "Determining the Origin and Behavior of Water in Space Weathered Rims of Lunar Soils," which will be performed at Purdue's West Lafayette, Indiana campus. This award was issued without set-aside designation, reflecting competitive selection based on Purdue's demonstrated...
