NASA has awarded Columbia and partners a prestigious grant to launch a particle detector into Earth’s upper atmosphere!
The Gamma-Ray and AntiMatter Survey (GRAMS) is a mission led by an international team of scientists, including key partners at Columbia, who plan to launch powerful particle imaging technology, which has until now largely been used deep underground, far above the Earth’s surface. The project will enable unprecedented observations of our cosmic sky.
The GRAMS team today announced that it has won a highly competitive $5.5 million NASA award to demonstrate a proof-of-concept prototype for this ambitious mission, called “pGRAMS.”
