The Landsat program has provided thermal infrared image data of the Earth for over 30 years, and as the program moves towards providing higher-level science products, the accuracy of the thermal band...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,000.00 grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to develop the largest infrared (IR) detectors for future NASA focal planes. This research and development contract has an anticipated completion date of August 31, 2025. RIT, a private university focused on career-oriented and professional programs, has extensive experience supporting the federal government through prime and subcontracts, including previous...
- This $445,730.88 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct studies on galaxy clusters, which are a cornerstone of modern observational cosmology. Galaxy clusters represent the most massive gravitationally collapsed structures in the universe and serve as laboratories for detailed physics of structure formation. The grant, with a period of performance through May 12, 2023, supports RIT's research...
- This $608,130 federal grant award to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to characterize the distributions and interactions of gas and dust in the intra-cluster medium using novel analysis techniques applied to multi-probe observations. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. RIT is a private research university known for its expertise in technology, engineering, and applied sciences, and has a strong track...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provides a $316,433.00 grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct "Multiwavelength Studies of the Nearest Known Protoplanetary Disks." The research aims to test key predictions from models of planet-forming disks, such as dust grain orbital migration, ice mantle formation, and gas dispersal, using high-resolution, multiwavelength observations. This contract, awarded on January...
- This is a $692,535 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct research on future Landsat system requirements. The anticipated outcome is a trade-space suite to support cost-conscious decision-making about maintaining and expanding the availability of high-quality Earth observation data from the Landsat satellites. RIT, a private university with extensive federal research experience, will leverage its expertise in areas like remote...
This $246,920 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to conduct research on directly measuring and calibrating the Kepler charge-coupled device (CCD) pixel response function. The goal is to improve photometry and astrometry of stellar images taken with telescopes and detectors in space, which are typically undersampled. RIT, a private university with expertise in optics, photonics, and imaging, will develop methods to separate the telescope's point spread function from the CCD's pixel response function, allowing more accurate corrections for undersampling. This research builds on prior work done for the Hubble Space Telescope and Kepler mission, and could help maximize the scientific return from the Kepler data archive. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
