- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $499,928.10 grant to Trans Astronautica Corporation (Transastra), a self-certified small disadvantaged business and manufacturer, to research and develop optical mining technologies for harvesting water, oxygen, propellant, and radiation shielding from asteroids. This work aims to enable affordable deep space human exploration missions beyond low-Earth orbit, such as human outposts at the Earth-Moon Lagrange points, crewed...
- This $499,700.00 federal grant award to Trans Astronautica Corporation (Transastra) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) supports research and development of groundbreaking technologies for sustainable space exploration and industrialization. Transastra, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, is focused on advancing capabilities in areas like orbital debris remediation, space domain awareness, lunar resource extraction, and transformative space mission...
- This federal contract award, valued at $94,746.60, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trans Astronautica Corporation, a self-certified small disadvantaged business. The contract is for research to develop better methods for locating and characterizing near-Earth objects (NEOs), which are important for understanding the formation and evolution of the solar system, as well as serving as potential targets for human exploration and resource utilization. The...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AL93G, was made by NASA to Integrated Concurrent Systems Associates, Inc. (ICS Associates) for the APIS (Asteroid Provided In-Situ Supplies) project. The goal of APIS is to harvest and return up to 100 metric tons of water from a near-Earth asteroid using a single Falcon 9 launch. The approach, called "optical mining," uses concentrated sunlight to extract water, which can then be used as propellant to support more affordable human...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a grant for research to Trans Astronautica Corporation (Transastra) for the Lunar Polar Mining Outpost (LPMO) mission architecture. The $499,224 grant, awarded on June 1, 2020, aims to reduce the cost of human exploration and industrialization of the Moon. Transastra is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and manufacturer that has previously provided research and prototype development for NASA and the Department of the...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AH10G, was made by the Shared Services Center on behalf of NASA to The Tauri Group, Inc. The objective of this $99,413.05 grant is to collect and analyze data to improve understanding of the current capabilities of the industrial base supporting "start-up space" companies, such as those involved in small satellite constellations, commercial human spaceflight, and asteroid mining. This study will examine how the potential to use less...
- This is a $2,242,635.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute, a non-profit organization, for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow Up Project Phase V. The grant's objectives are to 1) provide rapid NEO confirmation measurements and 2) observe more than 4,000 NEAs fainter than magnitude 22.0 per year. This grant supports the development and operation of facilities to advance NASA's strategic asteroid monitoring...
- This is a $83,320 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Bradford Space, Inc., a European manufacturer of satellite subsystems and components. The grant supports research and development to advance two critical prerequisites for large-scale economic use of space resources: in-space manufacture of propellants from non-terrestrial bodies, and in-space manufacture of heat shields for low-cost capture of materials into Earth...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $799,354.00 grant for research to the Astrobotic Foundation, a non-profit organization, for the project "COSMIC CAREERS FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON" under contract number 80NSSC24K0979. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027 and is being performed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Astrobotic Foundation, which operates the Moonshot Museum, is the prime...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Aerospace Corporation, a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), for a project to study the design of an ultra-light dynamic membrane spacecraft, or "brane craft." The brane craft concept involves flattening a spacecraft into a membrane or 2-brane structure to achieve an ultra-high power-to-weight ratio, which could enable missions to targets like near-Earth asteroids and the...
