WHITE PLAINES, N.Y. (WANE) - ITT Corporation announced Monday the company was selected for an award under NASA's Instrument Incubator Program.
In October 2007, ITT was selected as the instrument provider for the CORSAIR (Calibrated Observations of Radiance Spectra from the Atmosphere in the far-Infrared) technology development initiative, headed by NASA's Langley Research Center. This led to the company's contribution to a CORSAIR team proposal for Instrument Incubator funding and the subsequent award announced today, valued at $500,000 for ITT over the next three years.
ITT's role in CORSAIR will be the design, development and testing of spectrometer technology to support NASA's planned CLARREO mission. A key component of the NASA Decadal Study Earth Science program, CLARREO will provide the first comprehensive, well-calibrated measurements of the far-infrared (and infrared) spectrum from space. Collection and analysis of this data will reduce the uncertainty in predictions of Earth's future climate.
"ITT has decades of experience designing space science instruments and associated systems covering much of the electro-magnetic spectrum," said Chris Young, president of ITT Space Systems Division. "Our contributions on the CORSAIR team hold the promise of increasingly accurate climate change measurement."
Additionally, in late February 2008, ITT's Space Systems Division announced it had been awarded seven NASA strategic missions concept studies. The space agency periodically conducts these studies to determine future astrophysics missions and technology-development funding.
