- This is a $3,256,304.08 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for research related to understanding the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation output of nearby stars and its impact on exoplanet atmospheres. The grant will fund two additional flights of the Dual-channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment (DEUCE) payload to (1) complete an ionizing radiation census of local B-stars and (2) obtain the first EUV spectra of the nearest main-sequence stars, including potential...
- This award to the Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants, is a $131,018.45 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The purpose is to support, calibrate, and launch DEUCE, the Dual-Channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment, a sounding rocket-based instrument that will obtain the first flux-calibrated spectra of two nearby B stars in the Lyman continuum and...
- 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...
- The University of Colorado has been awarded a $407,188 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation from the sun and its impact on space weather. This is a 5-year grant that runs from August 2020 to August 2025. The University of Colorado is a U.S. state government entity and accredited public research institution that has previously conducted federal contract work for agencies including NASA, the Department of...
- 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 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 $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 $83,116.00 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 Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for a "Daytime Lower Ionosphere Dynamo Experiment" research project. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university, the University of Colorado has extensive experience conducting fundamental research across science,...
- 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 $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant supports a study on the impact of supernovae on their host galaxies, which aligns with NASA's Astrophysics Research Program objectives to explore the universe and the origin, evolution, and structure of the galaxy. The award will also...
This is a four-year, $2,749,735.61 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectrophotometry investigation of nearby B-stars. The research aims to provide insights into the reionization of the early universe by making critical observations in the 700-900 Angstrom waveband, which has never been observed for B-stars. The project will develop a sounding rocket payload called DEUCE (Dual-channel Extreme Ultraviolet Continuum Experiment) to accomplish this science. The award aligns with NASA's strategic goals by making unique observations relevant to the physics of reionization, demonstrating the space-worthiness of new ultraviolet detectors, and training the next generation of NASA space mission scientists and principal investigators. This grant was not designated as a set-aside contract.
