This is a $107,052.73 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The award is for the design and implementation of low-power, compact, and highly sensitive analytical instrumentation techniques for organic and inorganic analysis of the subsurface ice on Jupiter's moon Europa. This work will build a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) system for amino acid...
This federal contract award to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, supports the RISE-UP (Ross Ice Shelf and Europa Underwater Probe) project. The $3,811,818 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to develop a small, autonomous underwater vehicle capable of exploring under the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica as an analog for potential future missions to Europa, Jupiter's icy moon. The project involves...
This federal contract award, valued at $120,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp) to conduct research on the multiphase behavior of Europa's ice shell. The research aims to understand the evolution and potential habitability of Europa's subsurface ocean, which is of great scientific interest for the possibility of supporting extraterrestrial life. The contract,...
This federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to Texas Tech University System to develop a heat flow probe that can be robotically deployed from a lander on the surface of Europa and other icy moons. The goal is to measure the heat transport through the ice shell to better understand the thermal evolution and potential subsurface ecosystems of these planetary bodies. The $955,776.63 grant will fund a 3-year research effort, starting at Technology...
This federal contract is a $282,863 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project to better understand the nature and impact of potential water vapor plumes on the Jovian moon Europa through in-situ plasma and magnetic field observations from past and future...
This is a $327,821.67 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to conduct research on the influence of the electromagnetic field perturbations near Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, on the dynamics of energetic ions near the moon and the sputtering (ion erosion) rate of its surface. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Georgia Tech is a non-profit research organization and state institution of...
This federal contract award to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, aims to elevate the technology readiness level of the Enceladus Organic Analyzer (EOA) for in-situ organic analysis of outer-planetary icy moons. The EOA utilizes a novel high-velocity capture plate coupled with capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) to quantitatively analyze organic compounds in the hydrothermal plumes of Enceladus. The contract, valued at...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to mature a miniature broadband seismometer for deployment on Jupiter's moon Europa. The goal is to develop a seismic instrument capable of probing the properties of Europa's ice shell and interior structure, and recording current activity, in support of a potential future Europa lander mission. The $2,337,679.69 grant, titled "Studies of Landed Mission...
This is a $2,250,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The contract is for research to address the challenge of extreme radiation and low temperatures encountered on the surface of ocean worlds, which is critical for future space exploration missions. The contract does not have a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $123,864.88 grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) to conduct research on the fractures and failure of the icy shells of Europa and other icy satellites in the solar system. The research aims to improve understanding of the depth, stress, and energy required for the propagation of fractures and formation of chaotic terrain on these icy bodies. The study will combine fracture mechanics, granular physics, and...

This federal contract award to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, provides funding for the development of a deep subsurface access vehicle system for exploring Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The proposed platform would enable access to a subsurface water volume within 5 kilometers of the surface, with the capability to reach depths up to 15 kilometers. The work will adapt existing Georgia Tech vehicle technologies, including the ICEFIN (an approximately TRL 5 concept) and the DORA (a TRL 2 concept), to achieve a flight-ready TRL 6 system. The $1,997,216.00 grant contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), does not have a set-aside designation. This effort supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate and the agency's work in planetary science and astrobiology.
