- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $951,708.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for research on "Interplanetary Disturbances Obliquity Effects in the Generation of dB/dt Events". This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2027. The University of Colorado is a U.S. state...
- This is a $1,292,157.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to develop and flight-qualify the instrument designs and components required to support NASA's ambitious space instrumentation objectives over the next decade. The five-year suborbital research program will utilize the University's expertise in physics, materials science, and aerospace engineering to...
This is a $303,874 research and development contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract studies the effects of minor debris strikes on spacecraft systems, with the goal of using active satellites as in-situ debris sensors to measure the small, untrackable debris population and diagnose on-orbit anomalies. The work consists of two complementary efforts: modeling spacecraft attitude dynamics to identify telemetry signatures of debris strikes, and assessing the impacts on solar array power, radiator efficiency, component function, and orbit changes. This contract was awarded directly to the University of Colorado without a set-aside designation, leveraging the institution's expertise in space physics, engineering, and simulation modeling.
