About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $443,186.66 Cooperative Agreement to American University, a private university in Washington, D.C., to conduct research on remote sensing of planetary atmospheres in the solar system and beyond. The award supports scientific investigations leveraging technologies such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to characterize atmospheric compositions and processes on planets and comets. This work aligns with NASA's overall mission to expand our understanding of the solar system and the universe. The contract has no set-aside designation and was awarded directly to the university on April 1, 2017, with a completion date of January 28, 2021.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Remote sensing of atmospheric isotopic ratios is now more accessible than ever, and IT has recently permitted US to infer that mars lost an ocean s worth of water (villanueva ET AL. 2015), and that comets may have delivered the water to our planet (hartogh ET AL. 2011; villanueva ET AL. 2009). At longer wavelengths, the alma array is revolutionizing the characterization of planetary atmospheres by permitting high-spatial resolutions and unprecedented sensitivities, as demonstrated by the surprising maps of HNC and HC3N obtained of titan (cordiner ET AL. 2014) and the vertical profiles of pluto s atmosphere (lellouch ET AL. 2016).
