Sciglob Instruments & Services LLC, a small disadvantaged business, was awarded a $382,259 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to maintain and enhance the in-flight calibration of the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) on the Landsat 8 satellite. This work aims to ensure high-quality EPIC Level 1 data, which is the basis for critical Level 2 science products such as ozone, cloud, and vegetation maps. The grant supports three work packages: calibration and...
This is a $346,592 grant award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, to improve the calibration of the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The goal is to validate the absolute and relative radiometric calibration of EPIC's spectral channels by comparing its measurements to data from several other Earth and...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, valued at $97,067.93, is to develop a suite of algorithms for generating operational cloud products from the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The work will involve using multichannel observations for cloud masking, cloud...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $347,511.49 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) onboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The objectives are to develop a new methodology to generate "hot spot" signatures from EPIC and other satellite sensor observations that can be used to monitor changes and biophysical processes in tropical and...
This is a $362,626 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to fund the first six years of operation of the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) instrument. The award runs from February 10, 2022 to February 9, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation. Columbia University is a renowned private research institution that frequently collaborates with government agencies on...
This is a $430,641 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to continue the science team support for the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) mission. Under this award, UMD will maintain, improve, and validate the EPIC O3SO2AI product, which provides measurements of total column ozone, sulfur dioxide, scene reflectivity, and aerosol index. The team will apply soft calibration techniques to ensure the accuracy...
