- This is a $435,766.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for the development of open source tools to map exoplanet science goals to the architecture properties of a future infrared, optical, and ultraviolet (IR/O/UV) space observatory. The grant supports research under solicitation 22-ADSPS22-0011, "Open Source Tools for Mapping Exoplanet Science Goals to Architecture Properties of the IR/O/UV Great Observatory," with a...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0695, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University, a private research university in Ithaca, New York. The overarching objective of the $717,566.00 grant is to develop tools and techniques that can maximize the scientific value of data from the Euclid and WFIRST space missions, with a focus on probing the nature of dark matter and dark energy. The proposed research aims to refine methods for extracting...
- This federal contract award to Cornell Technical Services LLC, a small technology and professional services company based in Columbia, Maryland, supports the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Astrophysics Strategic Missions Program Office. The $339,289.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract provides technical, cost, and schedule evaluation support to enable the program office to assess the performance of the WFIRST...
- This $203,354.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to Cornell University to enable the successful interpretation of atmospheric exoplanet data for current and future NASA missions. The effort will support the analysis of data from missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that have broader wavelength coverage and higher spectral resolution than previous space telescopes, allowing detection of a variety of molecular features at high...
- This federal contract award, valued at $103,762.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), operating as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). The award is part of NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission and focuses on analyzing the atmospheric composition, clouds, and spectral signatures of directly imaged exoplanets that the WFIRST-AFTA (Astrophysics...
- This is a federal contract award from the Langley Research Center, a civilian agency within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to Cornell Technical Services LLC, a small technology and professional services company. The $528,420.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is for the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Independent External Technical/Management/Cost Review. The purpose is to obtain 15 subject matter experts to conduct a review and ensure that NASA's approach...
- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $328,000.00, was granted to Cornell University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to the limits of modern high precision cosmology and astrophysics, which are defined in large part by limitations in detector technology and the warm electronics required to read out those sensors. The contract is a grant for research with a period of performance ending on June 30, 2025. It does not have a set-aside...
- This federal contract award to The Trustees of Princeton University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the WFIRST Science Investigation Teams and Adjutant Scientists Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences-2015 (ROSES-2015) NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNH15ZDA001N-WFIRST. The contract, valued at $1,107,461.00, supports the coordination of work being performed by the Science Investigation Teams (SITs) associated with the WFIRST Coronagraph...
- This contract award, with ID NNX17AL71A, was made by NASA to Cornell University, a private non-profit research institution, to support astrobiological research and observations. The original proposal addressed three main areas: (1) collecting and analyzing spectra from warm extrasolar Jupiters, (2) measuring isotopic ratios in the solar system by observing giant planets and other bodies, and (3) global monitoring of Mars and Titan. The award, valued at $879,356.34, is a cooperative agreement...
- This is a prime contract awarded by NASA to Stanford University to support the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission. The contract tasks Stanford with developing scientific performance requirements, observational strategies, data analysis techniques, and calibration plans for the WFIRST coronagraph instrument. Stanford will collaborate with a team of subcontractors, including New Mexico State University, University of Arizona, Cornell University, and others, to contribute...
This federal contract award, valued at $323,193.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to conduct a detailed study of the scientific capabilities of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope - Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (WFIRST-AFTA) coronagraph. The goal is to optimize the coronagraph's ability to image known exoplanets and search for new ones by updating modeling tools to accurately describe the coronagraph's architecture and mission, accounting for factors like the observatory's geosynchronous orbit and the latest exoplanet survey data. The work will produce simulation results, target lists, and recommendations to support the coronagraph's operations and further the development of space-based exoplanet imaging. This effort directly supports the WFIRST preparatory science program and the goals of NASA's Cosmic Origins programs.
