This $466,435.93 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the water ice and other volatile deposits in the polar regions of the planet Mercury. The work will utilize data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft mission to produce new digital elevation models and analyze the illumination and thermal conditions of these polar deposits. The proposed...
This is a $281,350.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct research on the distribution, origin, and age of water ice deposits at Mercury's poles. The grant is part of NASA's overall effort to advance scientific understanding of the solar system. The research will leverage data from Earth-based radar and the MESSENGER spacecraft to address fundamental questions about Mercury's polar...
This is a $349,910.76 research grant awarded by NASA to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) exospheres of Mercury. The grant, which runs from May 2015 to November 2020, will analyze data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) instrument on the MESSENGER spacecraft to improve understanding of the processes behind Mercury's exosphere and space weathering. The research aims to reveal the temporal and spatial variability of...
This $192,613.97 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the history and composition of explosive volcanic deposits on the planet Mercury. The research aims to determine when these deposits formed and analyze variations in the volatile gas fraction and magma composition across the deposits. It will leverage data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER)...
This federal contract award, valued at $312,908.14, was granted to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to understanding the age, source, emplacement, and migration of potential water ice deposits on the planet Mercury. The work will leverage data from the MESSENGER mission to analyze shadowed regions, small radar-bright craters, and the surface morphology of radar-bright materials on Mercury. This effort aims to...
This is a $563,179 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on understanding the heterogeneity of mercury's volatile-bearing south polar deposits. The grant is a research contract with a period of performance from October 10, 2023 to October 9, 2026. The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, will be the prime contractor for this award. There is no set-aside designation for this...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $246,386.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, to apply a global thermal cratering model to explore the effects of various impact bombardment scenarios on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. The research will involve modeling two types of post-accretionary bombardments and two types of Late Heavy Bombardment, using hydrocode simulations and a cratered terrain...
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...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, to conduct a targeted study of processes in Mercury's exosphere. The three-year, $331,585.66 grant has the objectives of: 1) using ultraviolet and visible spectrometer (UVVS) data and a Monte Carlo code to determine the overall "background" structure of the sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca)...
This is a $166,964.43 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is for an "Experimental Investigation of Excess Shallow Ground Ice on Mars" and aims to test theories on the origin of excess ground ice on Mars, specifically the potential role of liquid water. The research will involve laboratory simulations to understand water transport and ice segregation processes, in order to better constrain...
