This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AE10G, was issued by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) to Northwestern University, a private research institution located in Evanston, Illinois. The contract, valued at $249,999.85, is for research and development on "correcting and coating thin walled X-ray optics via a combination of controlled film deposition and magnetic smart materials." The goal is to demonstrate the ability to fabricate large-area, high-resolution X-ray mirrors for space-based astronomy missions. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Northwestern University will conduct experiments on cantilevers and 5cm x 5cm samples to validate the "set-it and forget-it" approach using magnetic materials to correct the mirror figure prior to launch. This research aims to address the challenge of achieving the required angular resolution for next-generation X-ray telescopes without the need for in-orbit adjustments.
