Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 31 July 2028.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 November 2028.

Abstract

The project addresses the critical need for convergence research at the intersection of geospace science and aerospace engineering. Very low Earth orbit (vLEO), which overlaps with the lower thermosphere and ionosphere, has recently emerged as one of the most exciting new frontiers for space operations, offering advantages in high-resolution Earth imaging, faster data transfer, and lower launch costs along with a…
