About this award

This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division, a private university research organization located in St. Louis, Missouri. The three-year, $412,034 grant will fund a study on the phase transformations of planetary surface materials on Mars and Venus caused by electrostatic discharge during atmospheric processes. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Washington University has a history of receiving federal research and training contracts and grants from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This grant aligns with NASA's space science research priorities.

Description

We propose a three years investigation to study the phase transformations of planetary surface materials (CL-, FE-, and s-bearing species) induced by electrostatic discharge (ESD) that occurs during atmospheric processes near/at the surfaces of mars and venus. This experimental investigation on electrochemical processes in relevant planetary environments has the potential to interpret some mission observations that are hitherto difficult to be fully understood on the basis of current photochemistry, aqueous chemistry, and thermal chemistry.
