The total ceiling value of the award is $531,225.00 and the ultimate completion date is August 31, 2028. This award is not set-aside and was made directly to NMSU, which is a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a 1862 Land Grant College. NMSU has a strong track record of executing federal contracts and...
- This federal contract award is to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Instrument on the International Space Station (ISS). The $499,564 grant will support data collection and research on vegetation structure at near-global scales. NMSU, a public, Hispanic-serving, land-grant research university, is the prime contractor for this project, which is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $355,830 grant for research to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to conduct near-continuous, ground-based, Doppler-velocity observations of solar-system gas giants to measure oscillations and atmospheric dynamics. The award, which has a completion date of February 13, 2025, was made on February 14, 2020. NMSU, a public land-grant research university located in Las Cruces, New Mexico, will be the prime contractor for this...
- This federal contract award is a grant valued at $83,614 awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for research on the different evolutionary pathways of the atmospheres of Venus, Earth, and Mars. The grant, with a completion date of June 15, 2025, is not associated with a set-aside designation. NMSU, a public, Hispanic-serving, land-grant research university, is the prime grantee and will be conducting this planetary science...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) is for the development of a plasmonic spectrometer for in situ characterization of solar system surfaces and subsurface environments. The $380,546.54 grant aims to advance measurement capabilities for planetary science missions by exploring illumination and light gathering strategies for on or near surface studies using optical fibers, and designing a plasmonic spectrometer based on the principles of extraordinary optical transmission. The proposed instrument can distinguish between various asteroid types and study surface mineralogy and volatiles, providing insights into the origins and distribution of volatiles in the solar system. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation and is directly responsive to NASA's Planetary Instrument Concepts for the Advancement of Solar System Observations solicitation, focused on innovative, early stage instrument systems.
