- This contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, will fund research into the dynamics of the winter polar vortex on Mars through analysis of 6.6 Martian years of observations by the Mars Climate Sounder. The $296,460 grant contract, awarded by NASA on October 1, 2021, will study three types of atmospheric waves: baroclinic waves, stationary waves, and thermal tides. The research seeks to enhance understanding of the Martian climate system. This award is not...
- This is a $852,088.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the non-profit Seti Institute. The grant is for research on the Convective Boundary Layer (CBL) on Mars and Earth. The Seti Institute provides a range of scientific research, engineering, data analysis, and instrumentation development services to NASA, including work on planetary protection to prevent biological contamination during spaceflight. This grant is not set aside...
- This is a $444,327 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado.
