- This is a $302,427.49 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is part of NASA's Lunar Data Analysis Program and aims to use data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument to characterize the mineralogy and cooling rates of orthopyroxene-rich deposits on the lunar surface. The research seeks to understand the evolution of the lunar crust and mantle by analyzing the composition and provenance of these...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $519,835 grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the Moon's early magnetic field history. The research aims to determine if the Moon generated a convection-driven dynamo that only intermittently reached high field strengths, or if the dynamo was driven by a different process capable of producing stronger continuous fields. The key objectives are to measure the paleointensity of the lunar...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $135,980.64 research grant (22-PIMOVE22-0002) titled "Evolution of Lunar Topography and Regolith as Constrained by Polarimetry" by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The grant, which was not subject to a set-aside designation, was initiated on October 21, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of October 20, 2024. The research will be conducted at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland campus and focuses on advancing understanding...
- This is a $292,910 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a research project titled "Understanding the Global 3D Magnetic Field and How it Evolves in Time", which is a critical component of understanding the Earth's magnetosphere system. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University has a strong track...
- This is a $1,320,620 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (an administrative organization) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a scientific research project focused on understanding deviations from ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models in determining the critical states and evolution of the Earth's magnetosphere. This grant does not have a set-aside designation....
- This is a $389,355.78 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a research project titled "Dipolarization in the Inner Magnetosphere" that aims to investigate the characteristics of dipolarization, a fundamental process in magnetospheric physics, using data from the Van Allen Probes and THEMIS satellite missions. The project has three main research...
- This is a $1,400,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a leading private research university, to execute a balanced science program. The grant will focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. The grant also includes efforts to develop a target-user focused approach...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $309,452 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project focused on better understanding the relative rates of the two main lunar space weathering agents - micrometeoroid bombardment and solar wind. The project aims to improve knowledge of the spectral properties of lunar soil agglutinates and use that information to model the evolution of the lunar regolith over the Copernican period. This work will leverage...
- This is a $415,871.15 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for a NASA center) to conduct research on the plasma convection in the distant plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to investigate the statistical characteristics, solar wind-driven responses, and ionospheric manifestations of the magnetic flux transport in this region using data from the ARTEMIS and THEMIS spacecraft missions. As a non-set-aside grant...
- This is a $712,925 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the critical role of complex and localized geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and their interaction with the Earth's 3D conductivity distribution in driving geoelectric fields (GEFs). The grant is part of NASA's ongoing work in this area and does not have a set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university,...
This is a $422,747 federal grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University for research on understanding the processes that generated the ancient lunar dynamo. The 4-year grant will involve investigating models of a lunar dynamo driven by mantle precession, both with and without convection, to determine the implications for the lunar paleomagnetic record and true polar wander. The research aims to provide fundamental insights into the lunar dynamo mechanism that produced the lunar crustal magnetic field, which is important for constraining properties of the magnetized lunar crust. This grant is responsive to NASA's interests in planetary interiors and magnetism, and builds on Johns Hopkins' extensive experience conducting biomedical, engineering, and scientific research under prior prime and subcontracts with federal agencies like the NIH, CDC, and DoD.
