- This federal contract award, NNX16AQ10G, was granted by NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The primary objective of this $371,468.00 grant is to investigate and explain a secular temperature drift observed in the Apollo Heat Flow Experiment (HFE) data, which has led to questions about the validity of the existing lunar heat flow estimates. The study aims to determine if the temperature drift was caused by natural factors,...
- This federal contract award, with the identification number 80NSSC20K0771, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $1,033,535.00 grant will fund the development of the Lunar Heat Flux Radiometer (HFR), which will use microwave wavelengths to measure the geothermal heat flux of the lunar subsurface without the need for drilling. This work supports NASA's planetary...
