- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $217,332.00 grant to the University of Chicago for research and development of optical and optical coupling technologies for future satellite-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) missions. The research aims to develop anti-reflection coatings, filters, and feedhorns that will enable high-frequency, high-performance CMB measurements from 30-400 GHz to separate cosmological signals from foregrounds. The technologies being...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $499,925 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to design a chip-scale optoelectronic synthesizer that can generate extremely high frequency (EHF) signals from 30-300 GHz with high spectral purity. The three-year research project will involve developing a mode-locked laser testbed, fabricating photonic integrated circuit (PIC) components for optical filtering and pulse shaping, and demonstrating the generation of...
- This is a $742,905.00 Firm Fixed Price contract awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Multi3D Inc., a small business manufacturer. The contract is for the development of a beam-steering metasurface antenna to support lunar soil moisture sensing under NASA's Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. The contract has a period of performance ending on August 15, 2023. This award builds on Multi3D's prior work with NASA,...
- This is a firm fixed-price delivery order awarded by NASA's Glenn Research Center to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, through its Military Aircraft Systems division doing business as Aerospace Systems. The $154,322 contract is part of the larger Research and Technologies for Aerospace Propulsion Systems 2 (RTAPS2) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of electronically steered or switched multiple beam antenna systems...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Kymeta Government Solutions, Inc., a for-profit organization, to design, analyze, build, test, and deliver a small, lightweight, low-cost, low-power electronically steered Ka-band prototype antenna subsystem module (ASM) intended for use on 3U or larger CubeSats. This antenna uses a tunable dielectric material and an array of radiating elements to create an...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, for the development of broad-bandwidth metamaterial antireflection coatings for sub-millimeter astronomy and cosmic microwave background (CMB) research. The $203,848.72 grant aims to improve optical elements such as lenses and half-wave plates to boost the sensitivity and capability of future sub-millimeter and CMB...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) has a value of $536,821.98 and was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Major Program Code "PLANAR SILICON METAMATERIAL LENSLET ARRAYS FOR SPACEBORNE MILLIMETER-WAVELENGTH IMAGING." The contract is for the development of planar lenslet arrays using silicon metamaterials, which can be used to couple detectors to optical instruments in future...
- This federal contract award is for the development of high-frequency antenna modules capable of use in phased arrays for radar applications. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $748,975 Firm Fixed Price contract to Nuvotronics, Inc., a small business manufacturer of high-frequency electronic products, to re-design and validate the fabrication and assembly processes for an antenna array operating at W-band frequencies. The objectives include optimizing the design...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $499,972.64 grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to design and test a prototype chip-based, centimeter-scale, metasurface optical antenna with 4 pi steradian electronic beam steering capability operating in the C-band. The design is based on gate-tunable plasmonic reflectarray metasurfaces that enable beam steering of 1550 nanometer light reflected from a tunable phased array metasurface. Tunability arises from field-effect modulation of the complex refractive index of conducting oxide layers incorporated into the reflectarray metasurface antenna elements. The contract has a completion date of February 1, 2023 and was initially awarded on January 14, 2019. There is no set-aside designation for this contract.
