The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $3.26 million grant to Arizona State University's Orspa division for the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper - Part 2 (LunaH-Map) contract. The research grant runs from October 2020 through October 2024 and will fund the second phase of mapping water ice deposits on the Moon's poles. As the prime contractor, Arizona State University will leverage its expertise in lunar science and exploration to help NASA further its...
This federal contract award, valued at $92,762,996.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center to Arizona State University (ASU) for the Robotic Lunar Exploration Lunar Precursor Robotic Program (RLEPLPRP). The contract supports a series of robotic lunar exploration missions to prepare for and support future human exploration activities. The contract involves developing and delivering six scientific instruments for the Lunar Reconnaissance...
The federal contract award NNX16AI68A was made to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop and launch the Phoenix CubeSat. The $198,128 cooperative agreement will fund the design, fabrication, and operation of this 3U CubeSat, which will carry a thermal infrared imaging payload to study the urban heat island effects in Phoenix, Arizona. The project will involve interdisciplinary teams of undergraduate students from ASU's engineering,...
This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AJ59G, was granted by a U.S. government agency to Arizona State University (ASU) for the purpose of "IMPROVING THE GEOMETRY OF THE CLEMENTINE MISSION AND CREATING NEW MAPS TO ENHANCE FUTURE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS". The $225,189.00 grant aims to enhance the accuracy of cartographic products from the Clementine lunar mission by leveraging data from the more recent Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) and Lunar...
This is a federal contract award from NASA to Arizona State University for the ShadowCam instrument on the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) mission. NASA is sponsoring the ShadowCam instrument, which will map the reflectance in permanently shadowed lunar regions to search for evidence of frost or ice deposits. The $39,677,936 fixed-price contract has multiple subcontractors, including Intuitive Machines, the University of Hawaii, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and...
This federal contract award is a $286,646.80 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on lunar impact melt samples. The goal is to use ultraviolet laser ablation microprobe (UVLAMP) technology to quantify the distribution of radiogenic argon-40 in ancient plagioclase crystals found in Apollo 15 and 16 lunar impact melt breccias. This will help constrain the ages and thermal histories of the impact melts. The...
This is a $599,505.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) to develop a Deployable Optical Receiver Aperture for Lunar Communications and Navigation. The contract has a period of performance through June 30, 2025. ASU, a comprehensive public research university, will provide the required research and engineering services through its division doing business as Orspa. The university has...
This federal contract award, with the ID 80NSSC21K0181, was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) for research to better understand the origin of variability in hydrogen isotope compositions observed in lunar apatites within and among lunar basalts. The $436,192 grant-funded research contract has a period of performance through December 31, 2025. ASU is the prime contractor for this award, which does not have a set-aside designation. In addition to this...
This federal contract award is for the design, development, and delivery of a CubeSat to measure plasma electron density at sub-meter resolution. The project will be carried out by a team of undergraduate students under the mentorship of faculty at the University of South Alabama (USA), a public research university. The CubeSat will be designed to operate in the upper F layer of the ionosphere between 400 km and 800 km altitude, with an orbit inclination of roughly 50 degrees to make...
This is a definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Morehead State University, a non-profit educational institution, under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NEXTSTEP) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). The contract, valued at $7,351,516.00, is for the development, integration, and operations of the Lunar IceCube mission, a 6U CubeSat that will address strategic knowledge gaps associated with lunar volatiles and demonstrate an...

This federal contract award, valued at $9,290,842.24, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to develop and launch the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper (LunaH-Map) CubeSat. The 6U CubeSat will enter a polar orbit around the Moon with a low 5-12 km altitude perilune centered on the lunar South Pole. LunaH-Map will carry two neutron spectrometers to map the distribution of near-surface hydrogen within permanently shadowed regions of the lunar South Pole at unprecedented spatial scales of 7.5 km per pixel. This data will advance the understanding of lunar volatile distributions and inform future landed missions and in-situ resource utilization efforts. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. ASU will be the prime contractor, with Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. responsible for the design, build, and testing of the neutron spectrometers. The 60-day science mission is scheduled to begin in July 2018, one month after launch and lunar orbit insertion.
