This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AG52G, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $560,411.00 grant is intended to develop a new system from the existing ASTORB catalog to accumulate and centralize minor planet characterization data, provide observational planning tools, and enable real-time updates through a crowdsourcing approach. This work is highly relevant to the NASA PDART (Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools) program, as it aims to consolidate reference databases and develop new software tools for the astronomy community to coordinate research and observations of minor planets. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, and the work is scheduled for completion by May 20, 2020.
