This is a $353,405.66 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The award is for a three-year project led by senior scientists Dr. Scott C. Mest and Dr. R. Aileen Yingst to conduct geologic mapping and analysis of data from the Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 lunar missions. Key tasks include digitizing pre-mission maps, creating updated USGS geologic maps, and presenting results at annual Planetary...
This $287,100 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is for research to derive lunar surface slopes and roughness from Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data, and to study the influence of these measurements on surface temperature. This work supports NASA's goals of expanding scientific knowledge through new discoveries about the Moon...
This is a $590,947 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The primary objective of this work is to produce a 1:1,000,000 scale geologic map of a region on the Moon that includes the pyroclastic dark mantle deposits in Sinus Aestuum, Rima Bode, and Mare Vaporum. The grant has two main tasks: 1) mapping the extent and distribution of these pyroclastic deposits,...
