- This is a $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
- This is a 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, valued at $117,286.00, is for theoretical modeling and research related to the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the geographic distribution and depth of water ice on Ceres' surface, as well as model its exosphere and its sources and sinks. This work is intended to aid in the...
- This is a $101,984.72 grant awarded to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the formation and processing histories of presolar and early solar system nanomaterials. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2023. ASU is the prime contractor, and there are no set-aside designations associated with this award. This grant supports NASA's research objectives in planetary science and the exploration of the early solar...
- This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $310,026, is for research related to the Dawn mission's observations of dwarf planet Ceres, specifically the characterization of perennially shadowed regions and bright (ice) deposits. The work will involve computational ray-tracing based on available topographic models. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a geologic mapping study of the dwarf planet Ceres. The study aims to characterize the distribution and timing of volatile- and ice-driven processes on the surface of Ceres, in order to address outstanding science questions about its internal evolution, impact record, and potential past (cryo)volcanic activity. The grant does...
- This is a $220,053.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for research on modeling the near-surface ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the processes responsible for the evolution of Ceres' surface, including the identification and interpretation of its compositions and stratigraphies, as well as modeling the state of Ceres' semi-bound atmosphere and the variability and volume of its water...
- Arizona State University (ASU) was awarded a $745,627 research grant by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of January 16, 2027. The grant, which commenced on January 17, 2022, supports scientific research aimed at understanding the physical properties of primitive, hydrous, C-group near-Earth objects (NEOs) through mechanical upscaling measurements of clay-rich carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. This work contributes to planetary science and asteroid characterization...
- This is a $343,000.00 grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University to investigate the formation conditions of sulfide minerals in samples returned from asteroid Itokawa by the Japanese Hayabusa mission and in chondritic meteorites. The research aims to develop a database to interpret the conditions of formation for sulfides that may be found in samples returned by future asteroid sample return missions like Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx. The grant is part of NASA's Laboratory Analysis of...
- This is a $295,959.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a three-year research effort to search for evidence of shallow ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research tasks involve global mapping and characterization of surface features indicative of subsurface ice, such as sublimation terrains, polygonal patterned ground, and domed hills. The findings will be correlated...
