- The Astronomical Research Institute, a non-profit organization specializing in Near-Earth Object (NEO) detection and monitoring, was awarded a $2.25 million research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on March 2, 2024, for Phase VI of the NEO Follow Up Project. This grant-funded contract, with no set-aside designation, runs through March 1, 2027, and supports the institute's continued research and development efforts in asteroid detection and characterization. The award enables the institute...
- This is a $2,242,635.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute, a non-profit organization, for the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Follow Up Project Phase V. The grant's objectives are to 1) provide rapid NEO confirmation measurements and 2) observe more than 4,000 NEAs fainter than magnitude 22.0 per year. This grant supports the development and operation of facilities to advance NASA's strategic asteroid monitoring...
- This contract award to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, provides funding for the Southern Hemisphere NEA Follow-Up Program, Southern Sky Near Earth Observations (SSNEO). The program will partner with the University of North Carolina's SKYNET to automate the 1-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) to perform faint near-Earth asteroid (NEA) observations. The $495,792 grant will enable the telescope to produce approximately...
- This is a $630,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, to continue its collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in providing a low-cost Southern Hemisphere near-Earth asteroid (NEA) follow-up program. The Southern Sky Near-Earth Observations (SSNEO) project, which began in 2012, has provided over 80% of all NEA measurements below -20 degrees...
- 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.
