The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,250,752.00 grant to The Ohio State University to develop an open-source library for designing multi-platform missions with adaptive sensors operating under resource constraints. This work aims to promote the use of adaptive sensors in Earth observing missions by providing new mission planning and simulation tools. The library will progress from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 2 to TRL 4 through a two-year project focused on...
This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University for the development of a fully adaptive radar system capable of operating on a 6U CubeSat platform. The project aims to demonstrate the advantages of cognitive radar technology for atmospheric sensing applications, particularly in the context of small satellite systems that face strict size, weight, and power constraints. The potential value of the...
This is a $399,169.75 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for research related to the detection of cosmogenic neutrinos. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Ohio State University is the prime contractor, and there are no major subcontractors mentioned.
