- Arizona State University (ASU), through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), was awarded a $282,880 research grant on April 24, 2024, to conduct scientific research titled "Impactor Airbursts in the Atmosphere of Venus: Geological Consequences and Implications for Resurfacing Histories." The project will be performed at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus and is scheduled for completion by April 23, 2027. This award represents a civilian grant for research,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to conduct research on spectral parameters for water vapor in the Venus atmosphere. The research will combine a broadband, high resolution dual-frequency comb spectrometer with a high pressure, high temperature optical cell to measure the 1-2 micron spectrum of a water vapor-carbon dioxide mixture under Venus-like...
- This is a $479,712.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for a three-year research project to study the mechanisms of hydrogen loss from the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, with the goal of improving understanding of how water has been depleted from these planets over solar system history. The research will couple...
- This federal contract award from NASA's Shared Services Center is a $224,320.38 grant to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to revisit the question of water loss from Venus using updated models for the upper and lower Venus atmosphere. The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds research program and aims to shed light on how Venus evolved to its current bone-dry state and determine whether exoplanets will evolve into Earth-like or Venus-like worlds. The work will...
- This is a $273,608 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research supporting the Akatsuki mission to Venus. The objectives of the research are to: 1) search for atmospheric signatures of current volcanism on Venus, 2) investigate the climate implications of volcanic outgassing rates, and 3) adapt Akatsuki data sets and previous Venus data for public display and interpretation through the Science on a Sphere...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,145,964.00, was granted to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the seismicity and interior structure of Venus. The award is a grant for research, with a period of performance ending on May 31, 2025. ASU, a comprehensive public research university, has a long history of successfully executing federal contracts and grants, including work for agencies like NASA, the Defense Advanced Research...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $431,596.55 grant to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the interaction between the solar wind and the atmosphere of Venus. The research aims to simulate this interaction with high fidelity in order to better understand features such as the super-rotation of Venus' upper atmosphere and plasma phenomena like the plasma tail...
- This is a $478,846 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to support two main objectives: 1) continuing ground-based infrared observations of Venus to complement data from the Japanese Akatsuki spacecraft, and 2) analyzing past and upcoming observations to determine cloud velocities, cloud properties, and trace gas abundances on Venus. The grant will fund observational time at telescopes like the Infrared Telescope...
- This federal grant award to the University of Colorado (CU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is focused on advancing the understanding of cloud dynamics and radiative balance in the Venus atmosphere. The $207,351.91 grant will support a series of microphysical cloud simulations using the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) to characterize the properties of Venus' clouds and their potential impact on the planet's atmospheric super-rotation...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $200,856.86 grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, for research on the interaction between the solar wind and unmagnetized planets like Venus. The primary objective is to study how the planetary interior, such as the conducting core size and electrical conductivity, influences the atmospheric ion loss and magnetic topology of Venus under various solar wind conditions, including extreme space weather events....
This is a $382,860 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate the potential for early aqueous processes on Venus and their effects on the planet's subsequent geological evolution. The research aims to provide insights into the early history of Venus, including the possibility of an ancient ocean and its impacts on the Venus' atmosphere and surface composition. The work complements climate modeling efforts to understand the prevalence of ancient aqueous processes on Venus, and the results could be applied to studying terrestrial exoplanets with early hydrospheres. This grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings (SSW) program, which focuses on understanding the geological history and evolution of planetary bodies. No set-aside designations were used for this award.
