- This is a $129,734.49 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida (UCF) for research on understanding the nano-scale cohesive forces that hold together asteroid rubble piles and influence particle motion. The grant is part of NASA's scientific goals to model asteroid surfaces. The contract has no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by February 7, 2024. UCF, a large public research university with extensive...
- This federal contract award to the University of Central Florida (UCF) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support the OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu. The $128,652.33 grant will fund research focused on mapping Bennu's surface composition using data from the OSIRIS-REx instruments, including the Visible IR Spectrometer (OVIRS) and Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES), as well as laboratory analyses of Bennu analog materials. The research aims to...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $964,178 grant to The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees (UCF) for research related to the Arecibo Planetary Radar. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund physical and dynamical characterization of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) using the Arecibo Observatory through December 2026. As the prime contractor, UCF will leverage its Office of Research and the planetary radar capabilities at the...
- The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees, through its Office of Research Division, was awarded a $194,300.51 research grant by a civilian federal agency to investigate the nature and origin of Hilda asteroids, a population of small bodies in the solar system. The grant was awarded on March 4, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of March 1, 2025, and was not designated with a small business set-aside. Research will be conducted at UCF's Alafaya, Florida campus, leveraging the...
