- The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded a $361,599.67 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop advanced ultraviolet spectrograph designs for future space astronomy missions. The goal is to create holographically corrected echelle grating designs that can provide enhanced sensitivity, resolution, and multi-object capabilities compared to current state-of-the-art instruments. This work will support the design of ultraviolet spectrographs...
- 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 $3,127,861.77 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a four-year suborbital research program. The program aims to continue the university's efforts in developing and flight testing instrument designs and critical path technologies for ultraviolet spectroscopy to support future NASA Explorer, Probe, and Flagship-class missions. The program will optimize the university's high-resolution echelle spectrograph payload (CHESS) and design, calibrate, and launch a new...
- This is a $836,502.41 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant is intended to develop a proof-of-concept ultraviolet (UV) imaging spectrograph instrument for potential use in future planetary science missions. The proposed instrument would utilize digital micromirror arrays to address limitations of current state-of-the-art UV spectrometers used on missions like Juno, Rosetta, and...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) was awarded a $134,914.49 research grant by a Civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on September 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. This research initiative focuses on advancing space technology through extending the KIDS (likely referencing an astronomical instrument) wavelength coverage to the mid-infrared spectrum for current and future NASA observatories. The project aims to generate new scientific data that...
- This is a $612,997 grant awarded by a U.S. government civilian agency to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to execute a balanced science program. The award is not designated as a set-aside. The grant supports CU's participation as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. It also aims to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- This award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) is a $34,768.52 grant for research on exoplanet atmospheres and their ability to support life, based on the stellar radiation environment and its variability. The research will leverage the UVOT UV grism on the University's instruments to conduct spectroscopy of stellar flares. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on May...
- This is a $1,749,061.00 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 (CU), for a five-year suborbital research program. The program aims to develop and flight-qualify instrument designs and components required to realize NASA's ambitious space instrumentation objectives for the next decade. This work builds on CU's previous experience and expertise in space sciences and...
- This is a $722,627 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research on "Large Imaging Arrays of Detectors at Millimeter and Submillimeter Wavelengths". The award is for a project titled "Broadband Scalable Metamaterial Lenslet Arrays for Spaceborne Millimeter-Wavelength Imaging" under NASA's Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA) program. The research aims to develop advanced detector...
- This is a $1,422,525.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant aims to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines, with a focus on...
This is a $1,430,834.28 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to develop advanced ultra-violet (UV) spectrograph grating technology. The purpose is to advance electron beam lithography methods to fabricate high-efficiency, low-scatter UV diffraction gratings to at least Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. This work will directly support future large space telescope concepts like the Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) and Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) missions in preparation for the 2020 Decadal Survey. The grant will fund the fabrication and testing of UV gratings for existing NASA sounding rocket instruments to progressively increase complexity, culminating in a prototype grating meeting LUVOIR Multi-Object UV Spectrograph (LUMOS) requirements. This effort represents cross-pollination of NASA's Physics of the Cosmos and Cosmic Origins technology development portfolios. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
