- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $100,000.00 grant is for the discovery and vetting of exoplanets observed by the K2 mission, a continuation of the Kepler space telescope program. The goal is to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets suitable for follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization. The grant's purpose is to create a publicly available catalog of well-vetted exoplanets discovered by the K2 mission, suitable for follow-up by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and other facilities. The work involves observing approximately 6,000 bright, dwarf stars over Campaigns 8 and 10 of the K2 mission, which is expected...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $593,536 research grant by NASA effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports research related to NASA's space telescope missions, including Kepler, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which conduct photometric observations to detect exoplanet transits and study variable stellar phenomena. The work...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization in Mountain View, California. The $78,356 grant will fund research to lay the foundation for a comprehensive view of transiting exoplanets through the Galactic Bulge Survey. The SETI Institute has a history of performing technical support services and conducting scientific research for NASA, particularly in the areas of planetary protection,...
- This $59,890.08 federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was issued by NASA's Shared Services Center. The grant supports the Institute's research on "LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF TRANSITING EXOPLANETS WITH THE GALACTIC BULGE SURVEY." This work aligns with NASA's exoplanet research initiatives and contributes to the understanding of the origin and nature of life beyond Earth. The SETI Institute holds an Indefinite Delivery...
- The SETI Institute, a nonprofit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $490,090 grant on January 1, 2024, to conduct research on transiting exoplanet science utilizing a global network of small ground-based telescopes. The award, designated as a research grant with no socioeconomic set-aside, will be performed at the institute's Mountain View location and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027. The funding originates from a civilian...
- This federal contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a study of approximately 500 young, intermediate mass stars using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The contract, valued at $31,301.00, is a grant for research with an ultimate completion date of September 10, 2025. The SETI Institute has a long history of federal contract and grant awards from NASA and the...
- This is a $343,589 grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the development of a "Uniform Catalog of Planets from TESS Full Frame Images". The grant aims to support scientific research in areas such as astrobiology, planetary science, astronomy, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This award is part of the SETI Institute's broader work with NASA, including a $4.7 million...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $70,000 grant to The Seti Institute, a non-profit organization, to support research detecting and vetting planet candidates in data from the NASA Future Imagers for Exoplanet Science (FFI) program. As the prime awardee, The Seti Institute will conduct scientific analysis of FFI data to identify potential exoplanets and characterize exoplanet properties without use of a set-aside designation. The research aims to advance NASA's...
- This $53,858 federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Quantifying and Correcting for Stellar Contamination in Transmission Spectra is Key to Obtain Robust Measurements of Exoplanet Atmospheres." The grant will support the development of an open-source model to address the challenge of stellar contamination in observations of exoplanet...
This federal contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $148,460 grant funds a project to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets discovered using data from the K2 mission, to support follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The project will observe approximately 9,000 bright, dwarf stars over three observing campaigns, which is expected to yield more than 120 transiting exoplanets. The SETI Institute will thoroughly vet these planet candidates to eliminate false positives, and create a public catalog for use in exoplanet occurrence rate and other studies. This work directly contributes to NASA's goals of discovering and studying planets around other stars. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
