About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a $399,729 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Wellesley College, a private women's liberal arts college, to support a multi-faceted investigation of the dynamics and structure of Saturn's rings. The grant combines all publicly available Cassini spacecraft observations from 2005 through June 2017, including data from the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), and Radio Science Subsystem (RSS). The research leverages the varied viewing geometry, long time-baseline, multi-instrument coverage, recent theoretical advances, and refined Cassini trajectory to expand the understanding of time-variable phenomena and previously inaccessible characteristics of Saturn and its ring system. This is a basic research grant with a performance period ending on May 31, 2023. The award did not utilize a set-aside designation.

Description

As the agency reported it.

This is a multi-instrument proposal to combine all cassini uvis, vims and RSS ring occultation observations from 2005 through june 2017 (all publicly available on NASA S planetary data system) to support a multi-faceted investigation of the dynamics and structure of saturn S rings. We will take advantage of the varied viewing geometry, long time-baseline, multi-instrument coverage, recent theoretical advances, and the newly-refined cassini trajectory to expand our understanding of a host of time-variable phenomena and previously inaccessible characteristics of saturn and its ring system.
