- The University of California, Berkeley received a $1.17 million research grant from NASA (awarded February 15, 2022, with completion targeted for February 14, 2027) to advance microchannel plate (MCP) detector technology with cross-strip (XS) readout systems for future space missions. The project focuses on developing a multi-channel application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to improve upon earlier prototypes, specifically addressing power consumption challenges that currently limit...
- This $981,760.19 federal grant award to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is intended to exploit advancements in atomic layer deposited (ALD) microchannel plates (MCPs), photocathodes, and cross-strip (XS) readout techniques to develop a new generation of enhanced performance sealed tube photon counting sensors for the 115nm to 400nm ultraviolet-visible wavelength regime. The objective is to integrate these subcomponent technologies into a robust package with...
- This is a $2,106,782.05 grant awarded by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to produce 10 orthogonal-strip germanium detectors with a 0.5 mm strip pitch for the Solar Physics Branch's GRIPS instrument. UC Berkeley will further develop their fabrication process techniques to meet the fine-pitch objective and manufacture the required detector processing tools. The detectors will be delivered to the Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL) at UC...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $1,009,909.00 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for research related to developing very large format, high-resolution detectors for potential future NASA satellite missions in the ultraviolet, such as LUVOIR (LUMOS) and HABEX (UVS). This grant does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley, a public research university, will...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded a $4,852,633.45 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to advance the technology readiness level (TRL) of focal-plane superconducting detectors and readout electronics for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) LITEBIRD cosmic microwave background (CMB) mission and other future CMB space missions. The project aims to develop two types of...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,204,510.60, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The contract aims to develop a large format, high dynamic range ultraviolet (UV) detector using micro-channel plates (MCPs) and Timepix4 readouts, which will result in a technology readiness level 5 (TRL5) detector that can be scaled for NASA's next...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,161,459.90, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The contract supports the development and testing of a hard X-ray (HXR) imager detector assembly based on Medipix/Timepix detectors. These detectors will be used to observe solar flares and investigate particle acceleration, a key process in solar...
