- This is a $299,762.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, an accredited public research university. The grant is for the development of a mission design tool that utilizes quasi-periodic orbits (QPOs) to compute and design low-cost mission trajectories for complex astrodynamics systems, particularly outer planet satellite systems. The tool will leverage a newly developed algorithm at the University of...
- The U.S. government's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $413,884.00 grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado (the University of Colorado) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The grant will enable the University to participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of,...
- This is a $165,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to develop a one-way radiometric tracking system for navigating CubeSats in deep space and future Mars and lunar missions. The project aims to validate the use of low size, weight, and power chip scale atomic clocks (CSACs) to improve the capacity of NASA's Deep Space Network to support these...
- This is a $297,420.29 grant awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research to support missions designed to explore cislunar and deep space. The research will focus on trajectory construction within multi-body systems through roadmap generation, which is critical for meeting NASA's goal of expanding humanity's knowledge of the solar system and scientific understanding of the universe. CU is a prominent public research university with extensive expertise in space...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $262,036.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) receiver tracking and ionospheric irregularities localization algorithms, as well as high resolution polar ionospheric imaging and analysis.

This is a $77,383.33 Training Grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to design and develop an Earth-based flight test to demonstrate the viability of aerocapture, an orbit insertion technique with significant mass and cost savings for space missions. The research aims to address the lack of flight-testing of aerocapture by designing a smallsat-based flight test. The project will involve conceptual design, development, and testing of an aerocapture system suitable for a smallsat, as well as selecting the mission trajectory and guidance approach. This effort is intended to show that aerocapture can be effectively used for orbit insertion at Mars and other atmospheric worlds, with applications to both large and small spacecraft. The award is for the period of August 2017 to September 2019 and does not have a set-aside designation.
