- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University for research on impact cratering across the solar system, including on Earth and the Moon. The $135,000.00 grant is for a research project with a completion date of August 31, 2024. The award was made on September 1, 2021 and does not have a set-aside designation. Arizona State University, a comprehensive public research university, is the prime recipient of this federal...
- 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...
- This is a $381,274 grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a multifaceted study of lunar meteorites using incremental heating and ultraviolet laser ablation microprobe (UVLAMP) 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. The goal is to improve the understanding of the lunar impact history, which is a high priority for NASA's solar system research program. This will be the first extensive UVLAMP study of lunar meteorite samples, which can provide valuable age information to complement...
- This 3-year, $640,606.62 grant was awarded by a civilian federal agency to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research organization, to acquire morphology and morphometry data for a global lunar crater database. The database will include craters 1 kilometer in diameter or larger, which is a critical size range that can inform many poorly understood lunar processes. SwRI will leverage publicly available data, primarily from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's cameras...
- This is a $280,715.40 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a research project to analyze lunar boulder populations around craters of varying sizes and ages using high-resolution images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). The goal is to understand how the distribution of boulders on the lunar surface changes over time as craters...
- This is a $526,000.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to study the influence of debris released by giant impacts on the late formation and evolution of the inner solar system. The research will use dynamical methods and results of impact simulations to understand how debris from large impacts on the terrestrial planets, such as the Moon-forming impact on Earth, may have played an important role in the evolution of...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a Tucson, Arizona-based non-profit research organization, received a $589.4K grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center on September 1, 2023, to conduct "A Fresh Examination of the Moon's Young Craters: Insights from New Datasets and Analysis Tools." This research grant, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026, and represents a continuation of PSI's extensive portfolio of lunar science research. The...
- 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...
- This is a $282,580.14 grant award from NASA to the University of New Mexico (UNM) for a research project to analyze lunar samples returned by the Soviet Union's Luna missions. The goal is to place these samples in the context of recent NASA orbital missions like GRAIL, LRO, and M3, which have provided new insights into the geology of the lunar Crisium basin region. The project will involve interpreting remote sensing data, modeling the Crisium impact event, and examining the Luna sample suite....
- 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...
