About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $314,268.85 cooperative agreement to Idaho State University (ISU) on September 6, 2017. The contract supports the SUBSEA (Systematic Underwater Biogeochemical Science and Exploration Analog) program, which conducts real-world, non-simulated telerobotic science to understand the potential habitability of ocean worlds in our solar system. The research involves observation, instrument data gathering, and sample collection focused on fluid venting at isolated deep-ocean seamounts as analogs to hydrothermal systems on other ocean worlds. This work will be conducted from the Exploration Vessel Nautilus, equipped with the Hercules and Argus remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), with in-kind support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER). There is no set-aside designation for this contract, and the performance period ends on January 27, 2023.
Description
The subsea (systematic underwater biogeochemical science and exploration analog) program will conduct real (non-simulated) telerobotic science to understand the habitability potential of ocean worlds in our solar system. Our science will include observation, instrument data gathering, and sample collection focused on fluid venting at isolated seamounts in the deep ocean as analog environments to hydrothermal systems on other ocean worlds. We will conduct our scientific fieldwork from the exploration vessel (e/v) nautilus, which is equipped with the hercules and argus remotely operated vehicles (rovs). Access to this infrastructure is enabled through in-kind support from the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) office of ocean exploration and research (OER). These rovs are controlled under low latency feedback conditions by proximal (ship-based) human operators who are provided scientific support and exploration direction by a remote, distributed science team (DST) who are located at exploration command centers (eccs) throughout the U.S. And connected to the nautilus via a telepresence-enabled communications infrastructure.
