- Wellesley College, a private women's liberal arts college in Wellesley, Massachusetts, received a $228.8K grant award (23-BPSF23-0079) from the NASA Shared Services Center for research titled "Bridging Fundamental Ice Chemistry Studies and Ocean World Explorations." The contract, awarded on August 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026, carries no set-aside designation and represents a non-competitive grant for research purposes. This award supports Wellesley...
- This federal award to Wellesley College is a $305,719.40 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to measuring and modeling vacuum ultraviolet and UV molecular photoabsorption cross sections. The research focuses on isotopologues of CO2, O2, and CO, as well as N2, to support efforts to interpret, model, and understand observations of planetary atmospheres, particularly the Martian atmosphere. This work responds to the specific data needs of ongoing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $370,608 grant to Wellesley College for archiving and developing tools to analyze radio science occultation data collected at Saturn and Uranus. The three-year contract, running from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025, will support Wellesley College's work in archiving radio science data gathered during planetary ring occultations and developing related data analysis tools. No subcontractors were...
- This is a $396,448.58 grant awarded by NASA to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization, to analyze data from the New Horizons mission to Pluto and Charon. The grant will fund the use of a radiative transfer model to quantify the spatial distribution and long-term evolution of Pluto's volatile ices, such as nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, based on observations from the New Horizons spacecraft's MVIC and LEISA instruments as well...
- This is a $392,474.16 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA) program. The objective is to analyze nitrogen isotope ratios in Pluto's atmosphere and determine if the nitrogen originated from ammonia in the protostellar nebula, similar to the origin of Titan's atmosphere. The research will use data from the New Horizons mission to validate a photochemical model of Pluto's...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AM40G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Wellesley College, a private women's liberal arts college, to conduct research on the modification sequence of impact craters on the Martian surface. The $150,727 grant supports Wellesley's efforts to leverage high-resolution stereo imagery and topographic data to precisely measure the evolution of impact crater shapes resulting from processes like aeolian erosion, burial, and volcanic...
- The Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was awarded a $122,724 civilian agency research grant (22-EW22-0008) to support the "Pluto's Small Satellite System: Formation and Dynamics" project. This research grant, issued on January 16, 2023, with a completion deadline of January 15, 2027, carries no set-aside designation and reflects competitive federal investment in planetary science research. The award...
- This is a $88,153.78 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Amherst College, a private non-profit educational institution, for a research project titled "Integrating Surface and Subsurface Observations to Understand Glacier Sliding in West Antarctica." The grant is for fundamental research focused on studying glacier dynamics, internal geometry, and basal conditions of ice sheets and glaciers using advanced techniques like...
- This federal contract is a one-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Bay Area Research Corp, a for-profit veteran-owned business, to conduct a pilot study examining the electron kinetic effects involved in the solar wind interaction with Pluto and its moons. The effort aims to determine how the presence of large electron scale sizes modifies the interaction between the solar wind and the dwarf planet, Pluto. The potential value of the grant is...
- This is a $112,188.45 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to support research on the interpretation of infrared (IR) spectra observed from astronomical objects, with a focus on data from the Ralph/LEISA instrument during the New Horizons mission flyby of the Pluto system. The aim is to develop models that will enable detailed mapping of the surface composition of Pluto and its moons, and improve understanding...
