This federal contract award to Northwestern University is for the "FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF APERTURE: A PRECISE EXTREMELY LARGE REFLECTIVE TELESCOPE USING RE-CONFIGURABLE ELEMENTS" project. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded this $481,271.99 grant to support research and development of a deployable, membrane-like mirror for a large, reconfigurable space telescope. The project aims to address key technical challenges, such as making corrections to the mirror figure after deployment and ensuring the deployment process does not significantly impact the mirror's shape. Northwestern University is leading the scientific efforts, with support from partners at Goddard Space Flight Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2018.
