- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,650.73 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research under the "Mineralogical Mapping of Asteroid Itokawa Using Hayabusa AMICA Camera Multi-Spectral and NIRS Spectr" program. The 4-year grant will support the calibration and restoration of multi-color data from the Hayabusa spacecraft's Asteroid Multiband Imaging Camera (AMICA) to create global 7-color...
- This is a $525,400.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant supports research to constrain the surface properties of the near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 using images from the Optical Navigation Camera (ONC) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. The research aims to create a detailed shape model, photometric model, and color maps of the asteroid to support...
- This is a $570,400 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The purpose of this grant is to support the Hayabusa2 mission's investigation of asteroid 1999 JU3. Specifically, the research will: Create global shape and topography models of the asteroid using stereo-photo-clinometry to aid mission planning, data analysis, and site selection for the Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI) experiment. Combine the shape model with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $179,180.46 grant to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to investigate the composition of hydrated silicates and organics on the asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 (Ju3) in support of the Hayabusa2 mission. The principal investigator, Dr. Driss Takir, will work directly with the NIRS3 instrument team to measure spectra of relevant materials under asteroid-like conditions and process the NIRS3 spectral data to...
- This federal contract award, with identification number NNX16AK68G, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $209,122.13 grant funds a comprehensive program of telescopic observations and spacecraft data analysis to characterize the physical properties of the near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3, which is the target of the Hayabusa2 mission. The research aims to provide insights into...
- This federal contract award to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, is for research related to the exploration of a volatile-rich asteroid. The $387,400 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center will allow the PI to participate in the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission, which is currently en route to the asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3. The PI has extensive experience in planetary remote sensing and laboratory analysis of extraterrestrial materials, which...
- This is a cooperative agreement awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, for the purpose of curating and archiving data related to small bodies in the solar system such as comets, asteroids, meteorites, and near-Earth objects. The total potential value of the contract is $5,303,331.77, with a period of performance through December 6, 2021. The contract does not...
- This federal contract award, valued at $84,591.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of the contract is to process data from the Near-Infrared Spectrometer 3 (NIRS3) instrument on the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft to create mineral maps of Asteroid 1999 JU3. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting PSI's competitive capabilities...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research related to the Hayabusa asteroid sample return mission. The goal is to study the surface history and characterization of the asteroid 25143 Itokawa by analyzing the returned samples. The research involves measuring cosmogenic radionuclides (such as 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and 53Mn) in microgram-sized samples using advanced techniques like...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to recover, clean, document, and archive ionospheric profiles acquired by the Viking Orbiter radio occultation investigation. The objective is to make these valuable historical data publicly available through the Planetary Data System (PDS). The grant has a ceiling value of $110,844 and a period of performance through March 31, 2020. This effort aligns...
