- This $114,359 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to study the degradation of crater ejecta on the lunar surface. The research aims to integrate data from multiple remote sensing instruments, including radar, ultraviolet, near-infrared, and thermal infrared, to better understand how lunar surface maturation processes manifest across the electromagnetic spectrum. Key goals include evaluating the effects of terrain...
- This is a $302,427.49 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is part of NASA's Lunar Data Analysis Program and aims to use data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument to characterize the mineralogy and cooling rates of orthopyroxene-rich deposits on the lunar surface. The research seeks to understand the evolution of the lunar crust and mantle by analyzing the composition and provenance of these...
- This is a $534,205.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct lunar mineral mapping research. The grant will utilize data from lunar remote sensing missions like Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan-1, and Kaguya to map the mineralogy and infer the vertical structure of the lunar crust. The research aims to address key questions about the composition and formation of the lunar...
- This is a $422,747 federal grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University for research on understanding the processes that generated the ancient lunar dynamo. The 4-year grant will involve investigating models of a lunar dynamo driven by mantle precession, both with and without convection, to determine the implications for the lunar paleomagnetic record and true polar wander. The research aims to provide fundamental insights into the lunar dynamo mechanism that...
- This is a $431,549.49 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on how target heterogeneities and surface slopes influence the crater formation process. The research will involve laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, and planetary observations to gain insights into how these factors affect shock propagation, ejecta excavation, crater growth, and final crater morphology. This work is relevant to...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $218,210.73 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to analyze data from China's Chang'E lunar exploration program. The grant will fund research to calibrate and analyze color images from the Chang'E-3 lander and rover, as well as compare microwave radiometer data from the Chang'E-1 and Chang'E-2 orbiters to other lunar remote sensing datasets. This multidisciplinary, multinational effort aims to advance lunar geoscience by...
- This is a $398,045.80 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona to study the formation and characteristics of ejecta blankets around fresh lunar craters. The research will use data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to map and analyze the complex surface features of these ejecta deposits, including the presence of impact melt. The goal is to better understand the excavation and emplacement processes of crater ejecta and how it...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $553,292.17 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Wide-Angle Camera aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The grant, which runs from August 1, 2017 to July 31, 2022, will fund research to collect far-ultraviolet and near-ultraviolet data of the lunar surface, which can provide unique insights into surface maturity and...
- This is a $590,115.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a study to investigate the generation, redistribution, and mixing of regolith on the lunar surface. The research will develop a 3D model to track the age of impact melts and compare the results to lunar meteorite samples in order to assess scenarios of early lunar bombardment history. The...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $135,980.64 research grant (22-PIMOVE22-0002) titled "Evolution of Lunar Topography and Regolith as Constrained by Polarimetry" by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The grant, which was not subject to a set-aside designation, was initiated on October 21, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of October 20, 2024. The research will be conducted at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland campus and focuses on advancing understanding...
