This is a $305,747.30 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to investigate the interaction of solar wind protons with the Moon using data from the Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) mission. The primary goals are to characterize the properties of protons reflected from the lunar surface and magnetic fields, and to quantify the effects of this proton reflection on the lunar surface...
This federal contract award, valued at $307,219.95, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The contract is for research on the photoelectric properties of the lunar regolith and the lunar electrostatic environment. The research aims to answer key questions about the high-energy solar photon-driven photoelectric yield of the lunar surface and the temporal...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC23K1338, was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The $357,107 grant is for a research project titled "CHARACTERIZING THE SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE ENVIRONMENT NEAR THE MOON" with a performance period ending October 31, 2026.

This federal contract award, valued at $614,697.02, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on the lunar regolith and rocks. The goal is to understand the long-term, million-year history of the lunar surface using cosmogenic radionuclides produced by cosmic rays. The researchers will focus on detailed measurements of cosmogenic radionuclides in unopened lunar soil samples to provide information on the...
This is a $88,175 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to execute a balanced science program. The grant requires UC Berkeley to focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded...
This is a $547,557 federal grant award to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The grant is for UC Berkeley to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. The research will focus on scientific activities related to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, with a goal of...
The U.S. government awarded The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, a $15.5 million cost-no-fee definitive contract on August 17, 2022, to design, develop, and deliver an instrument for the Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Experiment at Night (LUSEE-Night). Funded by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, this contract supports the agency's lunar exploration objectives under the Artemis program, which aims to establish sustained human and...
This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, is to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The contract, valued at $40,000, will have UC Berkeley participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The...
This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for research related to "SURFACE UPLIFT RATES, THE LITHOSPHERIC STRUCTURE, AND THE FLOW OF MANTLE BELOW" and has a period of performance from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025. The award was not set aside for any specific business type. As a research university, UC...
The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) was awarded a $615,116 grant contract by a U.S. government civilian agency to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The contract focuses on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as part of the agency's exploration initiative. UC Berkeley will advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AN56G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $422,128.89 grant is part of the Lunar Data Analysis Program (LDAP) and aims to study the interior structure of the Moon using electromagnetic sounding with data from the Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) mission. The research seeks to better understand the Moon's core, mantle, and lateral heterogeneity, particularly the Procellarum KREEP Terrane. This work is highly relevant to the LDAP and NASA's goals of understanding planetary formation and evolution. The contract is not set-aside and UC Berkeley is the prime contractor, with the State of California Controller's Office as the parent organization.
