- This federal contract award, NNX17AD07G, was made by the Shared Services Center (SSC) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the development of a laser guide star system to support large aperture segmented space telescopes. The $498,825.39 grant is focused on enabling the high-contrast imaging required to detect and characterize Earth-like exoplanets. MIT, a world-class private research university, frequently partners with federal agencies like the National Aeronautics and...
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology was awarded a $1.23M research grant (21-SAT21-0020) on December 16, 2022, to develop adaptive high-order wavefront control algorithms for high-contrast imaging applications on the Decadal Survey Testbed. The work is performed at MIT's Cambridge, Massachusetts campus and is scheduled for completion by December 15, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports fundamental scientific research in advanced optical imaging technologies, which have applications in...
- This federal contract award, valued at $324,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the primary purpose of conducting a fully integrated structural-thermal-optical (STOP) analysis of a space-based precision-pointed telescope design, such as the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is classified as a research grant with a performance...
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been awarded a $585,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency to develop the Adaptive Deformable Mirrors to Enable Deployable Diffractive Optics (ADROIT) system. The project, led by Professor Kerri Cahoy, addresses critical challenges in deploying membrane-based diffractive optics in space, including Fresnel zone plates and photon sieves. These optical systems are prone to wavefront error (WFE) introduced by membrane wrinkles, folds, and frame...
