- This is a $1,403,763.34 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for the "SPACEWATCH OBSERVATIONS OF NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS" project. The grant will fund the continuation of the Spacewatch program, which specializes in follow-up astrometry and photometry of asteroids and comets, with an emphasis on near-Earth objects (NEOs). The project supports NASA's NEO search campaign by providing targeted observations of newly discovered...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $744,406.75 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue their astrometry research on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The grant provides funding to use competitively-allocated telescopes larger than 2 meters in diameter to improve the accuracy of predictions of close approaches and prevent scientifically interesting NEOs from becoming lost. The research focuses on promptly...
- This is a $342,348.34 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project titled "Active Asteroids are Interesting Because They Represent a New Population of Objects Where Surface Activity is Derived from a Range of Exogenic Factors Such as Hypervelocity Impacts, Rotational Instability Driven by YORP Effect." The grant is a civilian award with a performance period from February 14, 2020 to February 13, 2024....
- This is a $684,039.40, 3-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for continued archiving, reprocessing, and curation of Spacewatch astronomy data. The grant supports the reprocessing of Spacewatch's legacy data to conform to modern data standards, maintaining and upgrading the database, and exporting it to NASA's Planetary Data System. The effort will also involve targeted...
