- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $593,536 research grant by NASA effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports research related to NASA's space telescope missions, including Kepler, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which conduct photometric observations to detect exoplanet transits and study variable stellar phenomena. The work...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0054, was granted to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to support research on circumbinary planets (CBPs) detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The $50,000.00 grant will enable the Seti Institute to detect a significantly larger number of CBPs compared to previous missions, and conduct statistical studies on their occurrence rates, formation, and habitability. This work will provide a deeper...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $100,000.00 grant is for the discovery and vetting of exoplanets observed by the K2 mission, a continuation of the Kepler space telescope program. The goal is to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets suitable for follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The...
- This federal contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $148,460 grant funds a project to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets discovered using data from the K2 mission, to support follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The project will observe approximately 9,000 bright, dwarf stars over three observing campaigns, which...
- The Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was awarded a $5,010,743.00 Cooperative Agreement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to provide science and operations support for the Kepler and K2 missions. The work will involve supporting the closeout of the Kepler science mission and the ongoing K2 science operations, including data collection, processing, and archiving. The Seti Institute will leverage its team of experienced Kepler/K2...
- This federal contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a study of approximately 500 young, intermediate mass stars using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The contract, valued at $31,301.00, is a grant for research with an ultimate completion date of September 10, 2025. The SETI Institute has a long history of federal contract and grant awards from NASA and the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization in Mountain View, California. The $78,356 grant will fund research to lay the foundation for a comprehensive view of transiting exoplanets through the Galactic Bulge Survey. The SETI Institute has a history of performing technical support services and conducting scientific research for NASA, particularly in the areas of planetary protection,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $25,000.00, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization specializing in astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for a research project titled "Utilization of Our Solar System as the Model Planetary System Long Has Implications for Exoplanetary Studies." The...
- This is a $50,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, for research related to circumbinary planets. The award is part of a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) vehicle that NASA Headquarters awarded to the SETI Institute in July 2020 with a ceiling value of $4.7 million. Under this IDC, the SETI Institute provides technical support services to NASA's Office of Planetary Protection,...
This federal contract award, valued at $299,600.00, was granted by NASA to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to search the Kepler photometric archive for bounded stellar binaries that produce periodic microlensing events. The research aims to find compact objects like white dwarfs and compute their occurrence rates in the Kepler field of view, thereby improving the understanding of stellar evolution in closely separated binary systems. The work will utilize a transit search algorithm to identify both transits and anti-transits in the Kepler data. This contract is not associated with a set-aside designation. The Seti Institute has held multiple contract awards and grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation for research projects related to exoplanet characterization, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
