- This federal contract award, valued at $766,424.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization. The award is for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow-Up Project Phase IV, which supports ARI's efforts to provide a dedicated, cost-effective NEO follow-up program to assist NASA in cataloging potentially hazardous near-Earth objects. The key objectives of this phase include...
- This federal contract award, valued at $25,000.00, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization specializing in astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for a research project titled "Utilization of Our Solar System as the Model Planetary System Long Has Implications for Exoplanetary Studies." The...
- This is a $294,396.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization, to contribute to the understanding of dynamical processes acting on small binary asteroids. The grant does not utilize any set-aside designations. The SETI Institute holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with NASA Headquarters, valued at $4.7 million, which provides multidiscipline technical support services throughout the lifecycle of...
- This federal contract award, 23-PDART23-0033, was granted to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization, by a civilian federal agency - the Shared Services Center. The contract, valued at $563,260.00, is for research to improve the geometric metadata available for images acquired by NASA's outer planet missions, such as Voyager, Galileo, Cassini, and New Horizons. The work will involve the use of "auto-navigation" software to enhance pointing knowledge for...
- This federal contract award (80NSSC19M0163) was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian government agency, to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $3,029,470.00 Cooperative Agreement is for the development of the Extraterrestrial Regolith Analyzer (XTRA), which will provide quantitative mineralogy and elemental composition analysis of lunar soil samples. The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating the SETI Institute was selected based on technical...
This federal contract award, valued at $228,464.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The contract, titled "Radar Speckle Investigations of Near-Earth Asteroid Spin States," aims to continue the Institute's work using radar speckle tracking to characterize the spin states and shapes of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). This information is critical for understanding the NEA population and planning future spacecraft missions. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. The work will involve transmitting radar signals from the Arecibo Observatory or Goldstone Solar System Radar and receiving the reflected signals at the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), allowing for unambiguous spin state measurements. The data collected will be used to produce combined shape and spin state models, as well as improved trajectory predictions for these asteroids.
