- This is a $281,350.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct research on the distribution, origin, and age of water ice deposits at Mercury's poles. The grant is part of NASA's overall effort to advance scientific understanding of the solar system. The research will leverage data from Earth-based radar and the MESSENGER spacecraft to address fundamental questions about Mercury's polar...
- This federal contract award, valued at $312,908.14, was granted to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to understanding the age, source, emplacement, and migration of potential water ice deposits on the planet Mercury. The work will leverage data from the MESSENGER mission to analyze shadowed regions, small radar-bright craters, and the surface morphology of radar-bright materials on Mercury. This effort aims to...
- This is a $487,285.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private, non-profit research university located in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a project titled "UNDERSTANDING SOURCE AND LOSS PROCESSES IN MERCURY'S EXOSPHERE USING MESSENGER OBSERVATIONS". The award has an ultimate completion date of October 9, 2026 and was made on October 10, 2023. There is no set-aside designation, indicating the award was...
- This $192,613.97 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the history and composition of explosive volcanic deposits on the planet Mercury. The research aims to determine when these deposits formed and analyze variations in the volatile gas fraction and magma composition across the deposits. It will leverage data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER)...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $189,278 research grant by the federal government on September 3, 2024, for a project titled "Do Polygonal Impact Craters Form on Mercury's Lobate Scarps? Implications for Contractional Tectonism Throughout the Solar System." The grant, which carries a completion deadline of September 2, 2026, is classified as a non-set-aside research grant funded through a civilian federal agency. The project will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore,...
- This is a $166,964.43 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is for an "Experimental Investigation of Excess Shallow Ground Ice on Mars" and aims to test theories on the origin of excess ground ice on Mars, specifically the potential role of liquid water. The research will involve laboratory simulations to understand water transport and ice segregation processes, in order to better constrain...
- This is a $563,177 grant for research awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to conduct a study titled "UNDERSTANDING THE HETEROGENEITY OF MERCURY'S VOLATILE-BEARING SOUTH POLAR DEPOSITS" with a period of performance through October 9, 2026. The Johns Hopkins University is a private, non-profit research university known for its expertise in scientific research across various domains, including space exploration, for federal...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $340,582 grant to conduct numerical modeling of water transport and deposition on Mercury in the aftermath of volatile-rich impacts. Specifically, the University will use direct simulation Monte Carlo modeling to investigate how water is redistributed following an impact, characterize any resulting transient atmospheres/exospheres, determine what fraction of delivered volatiles may be preserved as...
- This federal contract award, valued at $207,287.04, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on characterizing the geochemical terranes of the planet Mercury. The research aims to provide insights into the processes that dominated Mercury's crustal evolution, including the formation of the primary crust, volcanic resurfacing, and impact modification. The contract leverages data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $348,896.00 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the "Exploring the Earliest Stages of Explosive Volcanism on Mercury." This contract, with a period of performance through June 2, 2026, is not set aside for any specific business type. The Johns Hopkins University, a private, non-profit research university, will serve as the prime contractor on this grant. The university has a strong track...
This $466,435.93 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the water ice and other volatile deposits in the polar regions of the planet Mercury. The work will utilize data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft mission to produce new digital elevation models and analyze the illumination and thermal conditions of these polar deposits. The proposed tasks aim to better understand the distribution, properties, and evolution of the water ice on Mercury, a key objective of NASA's Discovery Data Analysis program. This is not a set-aside contract. The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and analysis for federal agencies like NASA across various disciplines.
