- This is a $485,719 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research using high-resolution hyperspectral data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft. The research aims to better understand the geochemical evolution of the Martian crust, including the distribution and implications of aqueously altered mineral deposits. Key objectives are to map the occurrence of carbonate, phyllosilicate, and hydrated...
- This is a $389,273.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for research on analyzing multispectral data from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER) and Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) missions. The grant is part of NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP), which aims to enhance the scientific return from Mars missions. The research will focus on studying the photometric behavior, surface scattering properties, and fine-scale surface...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $505,597 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on August 24, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of August 23, 2026. This civilian research grant supports scientific work designed to enhance the return from NASA's Mars missions through the generation and interpretation of impact crater catalogs derived from visible-wavelength image data collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Context Camera (CTX). The award carries no set-aside...
- This is a five-year grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Bryn Mawr College for $112,849.81. The grant is focused on refining capabilities to assess the mineralogy of the Martian surface using visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy data from NASA's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument. The research aims to better understand how mixtures of iron oxyhydroxides and iron sulfate minerals on Mars can impact the...
- This $359,308 federal grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The contract is for the development and validation of a custom widget interface written in the Interactive Data Language (IDL) to be used by planetary scientists working with data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument. The contract has a final completion date...
- This is a $96,651 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a research project to investigate the composition and formation of domes and hills in the Arcadia Planitia region of Mars. The project aims to use data from various Mars orbital instruments, including the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) and the Thermal...
- This federal contract award to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) is focused on denoising and spectral summarization of CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars) images with elevated detector noise. The $400,693 grant, awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center, aims to develop novel spectral artifact mitigation techniques and provide the planetary science community with advanced data products and automated tools for analyzing the complex CRISM hyperspectral dataset. This...
- This is a $431,265.61 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university. The grant supports a research project with the objectives of identifying stratigraphic tie points and correlating layered sedimentary deposits on Mars through analysis of physical, spectroscopic, and thermophysical properties. The goal is to establish the first regional framework for equatorial layered...
- This is a $362,060.26 grant from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded to The Johns Hopkins University to study unusual terrain features on the western flank of Olympus Mons on Mars. The research aims to characterize the origin and formational history of these anomalous terrains, which exhibit elevated thermal inertia, variable albedo, and possible indicators of recent aqueous activity or presence of salt-bearing materials. The grant...
- This contract award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University. Under the grant, the Johns Hopkins University will calibrate existing passive spectrometer data collected by the ChemCam instrument on the Mars Science Laboratory rover from mission Sol 1869 to both radiance and relative reflectance. The university will develop and archive calibration software and documentation, including a user's guide, on...
This is a $338,421.53 grant award to The Johns Hopkins University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to deliver two suites of high-level data products and visualizations from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument. The data products will provide the Mars science community with CRISM hyperspectral targeted observations that have been systematically corrected for atmospheric, photometric, and instrument effects, making the data more accessible. The development effort will also address a hardware issue that restricted the CRISM gimbal range, requiring a new approach to empirically correct the affected observations. This work supports the NASA Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program by enhancing the scientific utility of the CRISM dataset. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
