- This is a $435,766.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for the development of open source tools to map exoplanet science goals to the architecture properties of a future infrared, optical, and ultraviolet (IR/O/UV) space observatory. The grant supports research under solicitation 22-ADSPS22-0011, "Open Source Tools for Mapping Exoplanet Science Goals to Architecture Properties of the IR/O/UV Great Observatory," with a...
- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $328,000.00, was granted to Cornell University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to the limits of modern high precision cosmology and astrophysics, which are defined in large part by limitations in detector technology and the warm electronics required to read out those sensors. The contract is a grant for research with a period of performance ending on June 30, 2025. It does not have a set-aside...
- This federal contract award to Cornell University, a private research university, is for the design, construction, and testing of silicon substrate-based Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) mirrors. These mirrors will be used in the 25-40 µm mid-infrared band and are expected to provide improved performance over existing free-standing metal mesh mirrors. The $1,132,748.06 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) supports the development of this FPI technology, which could...
- This $203,354.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to Cornell University to enable the successful interpretation of atmospheric exoplanet data for current and future NASA missions. The effort will support the analysis of data from missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that have broader wavelength coverage and higher spectral resolution than previous space telescopes, allowing detection of a variety of molecular features at high...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,999.93 grant to Cornell University to research a modular, self-assembling architecture for constructing large, reflective, space-based telescopes with active optics. The proposed system would enable the construction of 30+ meter diameter telescopes at the Sun-Earth L2 point using a single, mass-produced spacecraft module design. Each module would include a hexagonal, one-meter diameter spacecraft bus with an integrated,...
- This is a $157,728.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to continue the development of the Infrared Database of Extragalactic Observables from Spitzer (IDEOS). The goal is to add emission line flux measurements for 3,000 to 4,500 galaxies to the existing database, which provides a valuable resource for planning observations with the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The grant...
- This is a $53,925 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for a balanced science program. The grant aims to enable Cornell's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, focusing on scientific research of the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The award supports Cornell's efforts to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science...
- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $309,642.00, was granted to Cornell University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on "A NOVEL APPROACH TO MAXIMIZE THE ASTROPHYSICAL AND COSMOLOGICAL INFORMATION EXTRACTED FROM THERMAL SUNYAEV-ZELDOVICH MAPS." The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell University, a private research university and 1862 Land Grant College located in Ithaca, New York,...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University in the amount of $336,000.00. The grant is part of the NASA NSTGRO (NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities) fellowship program, which focuses on graduate student research and development of advanced and innovative space technologies critical for NASA's goals to explore and understand the Earth, our solar system, and the universe. The grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University in the amount of $270,480.00. The purpose of the grant is to enhance the Planck Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Galaxy Cluster Catalog and revisit its cosmological constraints. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell University is the prime contractor, and there are no major subcontractors identified. The grant has an ultimate completion date of January 6, 2026. Cornell University is...
This is a $308,992.43 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University to develop new optics and receiver technologies for millimeter and far-infrared instruments. The goal is to increase throughput, speed, and sensitivity of these instruments to enable progress in experimental cosmology and astrophysics. Specifically, Cornell will 1) develop high-throughput optics using micro-machining to fabricate efficient anti-reflection coatings, and 2) design and test new transition edge sensor bolometer readout architectures based on microwave superconducting quantum interference device multiplexing. These technologies are intended to advance diffraction-limited performance across large-format, low-noise, high-density focal plane detector arrays, enabling new capabilities for a range of NASA missions and experimental cosmology instruments. This award is not associated with a set-aside program. Cornell University, a private research university, is the prime contractor without any subcontractors mentioned. The grant aims to further the development of remote sensing technology that is critical to the future of experimental cosmology and astrophysics.
