About this award
This cooperative agreement, valued at $218,292, was awarded on February 7, 2022, to Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center, with performance at MOFFETT FIELD, California. The research effort assesses the potential for large asteroid or comet impacts to produce transient habitable environments on early Mars, addressing long-standing scientific debates regarding ancient Martian climate conditions and the evidence of past liquid water on the planet's surface. BAER Institute, a non-profit research organization specializing in interdisciplinary scientific research and data analysis, is well-positioned to conduct this work given its extensive background in planetary science research and collaborative relationships with academic institutions and federal agencies.
The cooperative agreement, which extends through February 6, 2025, represents typical funding for NASA's planetary science initiatives examining the conditions necessary for life on Mars. No set-aside designation applies to this award, reflecting BAER Institute's specialized capabilities in computational modeling and scientific analysis. The institute's role in this effort contributes to NASA's broader understanding of Mars' early habitability potential and supports the agency's long-term exploration strategy for the planet.
Description
The goal of this research effort is to assess the potential for large impacts to produce transient habitable environments on early mars. The nature of the ancient martian climate has been debated for decades, as widespread geologic evidence shows THA
