The grant, contract number 23-PLANET23-0017, is not designated as a set-aside and will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026. This civilian research grant is funded through a federal agency's Shared Services Center and...
- This is a $3,041,172.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to execute a balanced science program. The grant is not set aside and will support the university's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The university will advance discovery in emerging fields by...
- The University of Arizona, a public research university and state government entity, was awarded a $403,086 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to advance the understanding of the early evolution of the Earth-Moon system during the first few tens of millions of years of the solar system's history. This grant, awarded on February 1, 2020, has a performance period through December 31, 2025. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Arizona...
- This is a $2,494,857 grant awarded by a U.S. government civilian agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university. The grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,706,884.65 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) for the Lander-Internal Seismometer to Investigate Ice and Ocean Structure (SIIOS) experiment. This research grant supports the development of a 3-axis seismometer to measure seismic waves and determine the thickness and structure of Europa's ice shell. The instrument aims to help establish whether a subsurface ocean exists on...
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, received a $406,997 grant award from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 30, 2023, for Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Ground Data Processing services. The contract represents a research grant with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2025, and will be performed at the university's Tucson, Arizona location. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition among...
The University of Arizona, operating under the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $2,739,465 firm fixed price grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The grant aims to advance development of a lunar geophysical network through innovative seismic sensors and deployment methods that can overcome limitations of sparse instrumentation and improve upon data quality from Apollo-era sensors. Specifically, the University will research and develop a silicon audio commercial off-the-shelf geophone with dual sensing capabilities, combining a classic seismic geophone with a laser interferometer. This novel design allows for micron-scale and submicron-scale motion recording to achieve a higher technical readiness level of 6 for small lander delivery in support of establishing a definitive understanding of the moon's internal structure through reexamination of existing seismic data. The grant contains no set aside designation and work is to be performed at University facilities in Tucson, Arizona through April 2025.
