The University of Rochester received a $374,087 research grant from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of February 16, 2025, and an award date of February 17, 2019. This grant supports research focused on understanding the volatile content and formation mechanisms of moons within our solar system, particularly examining how the Moon's water and volatile composition relates to its origin through giant impact theory, and investigating whether Mars's moons Phobos and Deimos would retain volatiles if formed through similar impact processes. The research addresses critical knowledge gaps relevant to future lunar exploration and the upcoming Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) sample return mission, which will provide observational data to distinguish between competing lunar and planetary moon origin hypotheses. The award utilized open competition without small business set-aside designation and was performed at the University of Rochester's Rochester, New York campus. As a major research institution with extensive federal contracting experience across scientific and medical domains, the University of Rochester brings substantial expertise in planetary science research and advanced scientific inquiry. This grant represents part of the university's broader federal portfolio in fundamental research, contributing to planetary science understanding within NASA's scientific mission framework.
