- This is a $381,274 grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a multifaceted study of lunar meteorites using incremental heating and ultraviolet laser ablation microprobe (UVLAMP) 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. The goal is to improve the understanding of the lunar impact history, which is a high priority for NASA's solar system research program. This will be the first extensive UVLAMP study of lunar meteorite samples, which can provide valuable age information to complement...
- This is a five-year, $511,291.16 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution. The grant supports a study of lunar impact melt flows, which aims to characterize the properties and behavior of superheated impact melt through geological mapping, experimental simulation, and numerical modeling. The project will leverage expertise in planetary science, materials science, and igneous processes to provide insights into fundamental...
- This is a $472,997.60 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to investigate shock effects, conditions, and ages in the earliest impacts recorded in ordinary chondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand impact processes in the first 400 million years of the solar system's history. The research will utilize advanced mineralogical and microstructural analysis techniques, including polarized-light microscopy, Raman...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University for research on impact cratering across the solar system, including on Earth and the Moon. The $135,000.00 grant is for a research project with a completion date of August 31, 2024. The award was made on September 1, 2021 and does not have a set-aside designation. Arizona State University, a comprehensive public research university, is the prime recipient of this federal...
- This is a $526,000.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to study the influence of debris released by giant impacts on the late formation and evolution of the inner solar system. The research will use dynamical methods and results of impact simulations to understand how debris from large impacts on the terrestrial planets, such as the Moon-forming impact on Earth, may have played an important role in the evolution of...
- This is a $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
- The University of Arizona (doing business as Arizona Board of Regents) was awarded a $100,000 research grant on August 1, 2024, to investigate the origin of lunar silicic magmas related to URKREEP (Unique and Exotic Lunar Materials). The grant, contract number 23-PLANET23-0017, is not designated as a set-aside and will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026. This civilian research grant is funded through a federal agency's Shared Services Center and...
- This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
- Arizona State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa) has been awarded a $150,000 research grant (contract 23-PLANET23-0129) by a civilian federal agency to investigate the effects of shock on water contents and hydrogen isotope systematics in nominally anhydrous minerals within lunar basalts. The research will be conducted at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus and is scheduled for completion by December 22, 2027. This award carries no set-aside designation and...
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX16AP48H, was granted by NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the origin of short-lived radionuclides in the early solar system, with a specific focus on beryllium-10 (10Be) and aluminum-26 (26Al). The primary objective is to gain a better understanding of the initial abundances of these radionuclides and their potential correlations, which will provide insights into their origins. The $104,216.16 contract utilizes various...
This federal contract award is a $286,646.80 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on lunar impact melt samples. The goal is to use ultraviolet laser ablation microprobe (UVLAMP) technology to quantify the distribution of radiogenic argon-40 in ancient plagioclase crystals found in Apollo 15 and 16 lunar impact melt breccias. This will help constrain the ages and thermal histories of the impact melts. The research aims to improve understanding of the impact history of the inner solar system and provide more accurate constraints on the age of the Imbrium impact. No set-aside designation was used for this grant, which has a completion date of October 19, 2023. This award aligns with NASA's Solar System Workings program, which focuses on understanding the processes that have shaped our solar system.
