This is a $98,446.55 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution. The grant is to study the effects of space weathering on the surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids, moons, and planetary surfaces. The research will examine how micrometeorite impacts and solar wind irradiation continuously modify these surfaces. The grant has an August 2023 completion date and was awarded in August 2020....
This $129,623.56 training grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University to conduct research on space weathering effects on minerals found in asteroid regoliths. The work involves laboratory simulations of micrometeorite impacts and solar wind irradiation on sulfides and iron oxides, as well as analysis of naturally space-weathered samples returned from the JAXA Hayabusa mission. The goal is to better understand how space weathering processes...
This is a $345,307.07 grant awarded by NASA to Purdue University to conduct research on the effects of space weathering on sulfide minerals and solar flare tracks in returned samples from asteroid missions. The research aims to improve understanding of the evolution of planetary surfaces and regolith dynamics on small bodies. It is directly relevant to NASA's goals of ascertaining the content, origin, and evolution of the solar system and advancing the understanding of chemical and physical...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, an institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The grant is for $466,381.00 and is for a project investigating the nature of space weathering processes on the surfaces of airless bodies, such as the Moon and asteroids. The grant has a period of performance from October 26, 2020 to October 25, 2024. This project supports NASA's...
This is a $135,000.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded to Purdue University, a nonprofit 1862 land grant university, to conduct research on the phenomenon of space weathering. Space weathering refers to the gradual alteration of planetary body surfaces when exposed to the interplanetary environment. The grant is a cost-reimbursement type contract with a completion date of August 31, 2024. This award is not associated with a larger...
This federal contract award is a grant for $564,463.00 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, an institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The primary objective of the contract is to explore the impact environment of the early solar system and investigate whether impacts are an important chondrule forming process. The contract has a completion date of March 31, 2025 and was awarded on April 1, 2020. No...
This is a $1,278,282.00 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University for an experimental investigation of space weathering processes on the surface of Mercury. The contract has an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2026 and is not set aside for any specific business type. As a leading institution of higher education and research, Purdue University has a long history of supporting U.S. government missions through federal contract and...
This is a $464,000 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a public land-grant research university, for the purpose of further developing techniques to measure and interpret cosmic-ray-produced (cosmogenic) nuclides in samples returned from asteroids, the Moon, and other planetary bodies. The work will leverage Purdue's gas-filled-magnet (GFM) capability to enable highly sensitive and precise measurements of nuclides like beryllium-10,...
This is a $394,767.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit institution of higher education and research. The grant is for the study of planetary processes through investigation of the lunar crust. This contract is not associated with a set-aside program. Purdue University has a long history of providing research, prototypes, and subject matter expertise to various U.S. government agencies through federal contracts and...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $815,000 grant to the University of Arizona for a research project related to the analysis of asteroid samples returned from the Hayabusa 2 and OSIRIS-REx missions. The project aims to characterize the thermal and weathering history of asteroid Itokawa samples from the Hayabusa mission, as well as study the primordial organics in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites as analogs for expected samples from asteroids Ryugu and Bennu. The...
