This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration Division, doing business as Princeton University, for the SPIDER project. The primary objective of SPIDER is to subject models of the early universe to observational test, probing fundamental physics at energy scales beyond the reach of terrestrial particle accelerators. The $3,807,428.00 grant will enable SPIDER, a suborbital long-duration balloon payload housing six cryogenic small-aperture millimeter-wave polarimeters, to make extremely deep, high fidelity measurements of the portion of the southern sky relatively free of galactic emission. This data will complement measurements from other experiments like Planck, PIPER, and EBEX, and could provide the first direct insight into the underlying physics of cosmic inflation. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
