- This is a $284,685.94 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida (UCF) on April 1, 2017. The grant's objective is to determine the origin of the near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) currently targeted by spacecraft, including (101955) Bennu, (162173) Ryugu, 2008 EV5, and (65803) Didymos. UCF will use dynamical models and spectral comparisons to study how these NEAs were likely delivered from low-inclination main-belt asteroid...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $146,998.02 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for scientific research related to the OSIRIS-REx mission. The grant will fund the university's efforts to refine predictions of the surface characteristics of the asteroid Bennu and adapt models as data is collected during the mission. Specifically, the university will investigate the granular dynamic activity affecting the...
- This is a $360,602 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project titled "The Enigmatic Surface of Bennu Using OSIRIS-REx Data to Calibrate Ground-Based Radar Observations of Near Earth Asteroids." The award is not a set-aside contract. The research will leverage data from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu to support ground-based radar...
- This federal contract award, valued at $547,387.38, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The award supports a combined laboratory, modeling, and data analysis effort to enhance the investigations of the asteroid Bennu by the OSIRIS-REx mission's OTES and OVIRS instruments. Key tasks include multivariate partial least squares (PLS) modeling of the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin for research to support the OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu. The goal of the research is to identify the optimal sampling site on Bennu's surface by investigating evidence of aqueous alteration and impact processing of the regolith, which is crucial for preserving any hydrous mineralogy and primitive organics. The research will leverage data from the OSIRIS-REx...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,930.40 grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to produce a space weathering map of asteroid Bennu using radiative transfer modeling. The goal is to identify the most pristine, unweathered regions on Bennu's surface to support NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which aims to obtain a sample of the asteroid's carbonaceous regolith. The work involves calibrating radiative transfer models to laboratory spectra of space-weathered...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC23K0664, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for a research project related to the OSIRIS-REx mission's Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES) data. The goal is to improve the analysis of the asteroid Bennu's surface composition and spatial variability by accounting for the anisothermality, or uneven temperature distribution, on Bennu's rough surface. The $292,557.00 grant does not have a...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on electrostatic dust motion on the asteroid Bennu. The $322,000 grant is designed to compare computational predictions of dust grain movement to observations from the OSIRIS-REx mission's OCAMS instrument suite during the spacecraft's site selection and touch-and-go phases. The research aims to evaluate electrostatic dust motion as a formation...
- This is a $357,998.43 grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the OSIRIS-REx mission. The grant supports PSI's scientific objectives to advance the analysis of asteroid Bennu using 3D thermal modeling tools and data from OSIRIS-REx instruments. The research aims to investigate the stability of Bennu's surface and interior volatiles, characterize its thermal properties, and...
- This $298,485.01 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center supports research by the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit organization in Boulder, Colorado. The goal is to develop and apply surface roughness thermal models to improve the interpretation of spectral data from the OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES) and Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (OVIRS) instruments. This will enable better understanding of the composition and...
