- This is a $107,052.73 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The award is for the design and implementation of low-power, compact, and highly sensitive analytical instrumentation techniques for organic and inorganic analysis of the subsurface ice on Jupiter's moon Europa. This work will build a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) system for amino acid...
- This is a $316,780 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) for a research project related to missions to small bodies in space. The contract is focused on the characterization phase of such missions, which involves building 3D shape models and using them for optical relative navigation and estimation of dynamical properties. GTRC, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, has...
- This federal contract award to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, aims to elevate the technology readiness level of the Enceladus Organic Analyzer (EOA) for in-situ organic analysis of outer-planetary icy moons. The EOA utilizes a novel high-velocity capture plate coupled with capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) to quantitatively analyze organic compounds in the hydrothermal plumes of Enceladus. The contract, valued at...
- This is a $493,544.29 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp), doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to develop and test theories and algorithms for the inspection, geometric reconstruction, and tracking of a small celestial body, such as an asteroid, using various sensor modalities including passive cameras and active time-of-flight 3D sensors. The objective...
- This is a $771,277 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The grant is for research on the widespread synthesis of complex organic compounds, including nucleobases, amino acids, and sugars, that occurred early in the history of the solar system. The work is being performed in Atlanta, Georgia and has a final completion date of January 19, 2026. This grant award is...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp) to conduct research related to terrestrial ice shelves as potential ocean world analogs. The grant does not have a small business set-aside designation. As a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, Georgia Tech Research Corp has a history of receiving...

The contract involves no set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Work will be performed in Atlanta, Georgia, with Georgia TECH Research Corp serving as the prime contractor and research organization affiliated...
- Georgia TECH Research Corp, the research arm of the Georgia Institute of Technology, received a $384,437 grant award from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on dynamical processes in the outer solar system and constraints on undetected planets. The contract, awarded on March 12, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024, represents an unrestricted competition with no set-aside designation. The research will be performed at Georgia Tech's Atlanta campus and falls within...
- This is a $863,155 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) for the "VOLCANIC EMISSION INVESTIGATION UTILIZING SINGLE-PARTICLE IN-SITU AUTOMATED NEPHELOMETRY (VENUSIAN)" project. The award does not have a set-aside designation. GTRC, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, is a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education associated with the Georgia Institute of...
- This federal contract award to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, provides funding for the development of a deep subsurface access vehicle system for exploring Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The proposed platform would enable access to a subsurface water volume within 5 kilometers of the surface, with the capability to reach depths up to 15 kilometers. The work will adapt existing Georgia Tech vehicle technologies, including the ICEFIN (an...
This $785,689.28 federal grant award to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) supports the early development of the Small Bodies / Icy Moon Penetrator Organic Analyzer (SB/IM-POA), a highly compact and robust ultraviolet-visible/fluorescence instrument for measuring organic compounds on planetary bodies. The instrument is designed to meet stringent size, weight, power, and durability requirements for space missions, including tolerance to high G-loads. The grant will fund the integration of the optical system and hydraulic microvalve components, with testing on relevant analogues to mature the technology to Technology Readiness Level 4 or higher. This work leverages GTRC's extensive expertise in optics, microfluidics, and space instrumentation, built through previous contracts and grants from agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The award does not carry any set-aside designation.
