- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research on the compositional and structural evolution of Saturn's rings. The grant, valued at $359,145.00, aims to understand how Saturn's rings are affected by micrometeoroid bombardment and the resulting impact ejecta. The research will leverage publicly available data from the Cassini mission, including measurements from the...
- This $342,213 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University will fund research to better understand the internal structure and differential rotation of the planet Saturn. The work will analyze data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to identify and characterize density and bending waves within Saturn's rings. These waves are believed to be generated by persistent asymmetries in Saturn's gravitational...
- This is a grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization. The $122,063 grant is for a research project titled "Analysis of Saturn's Rings Dark Material from VIMS Data." The goal is to analyze the spectral signature of the non-icy materials in Saturn's rings and perform a comparative analysis of these components as a function of distance from the planet. The research aims to contribute to the...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $628,768 research grant by NASA (through its Shared Services Center) on January 1, 2023, to investigate irregular vertical structures discovered at the edges of Saturn's A and B rings. The award, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, supports research that enhances the scientific return of the Cassini mission by analyzing imaging observations and their...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of the grant is to investigate the free normal modes and irregular structures observed at the edges of Saturn's rings, building on prior kinematical modeling work by the research team. The award amount is $324,988.00 and the performance period runs from April 19, 2016 to April 18, 2020. This work...
- 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...
- The U.S. government agency NASA awarded a $430,510 grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct research on the composition and structure of Saturn's storm clouds using data from the Cassini mission. The research will focus on analyzing data from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) and Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) to constrain the composition of aerosols in stormy regions on Saturn, particularly related to a major seasonal storm that developed in 2010-2011....
- This is a $480,461 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees (UCF) to apply image processing techniques to observations of Saturn's rings made by the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) and Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). The grant has a performance period ending on January 7, 2026. UCF has extensive expertise in engineering, computer science, optics, and planetary science, and regularly...
- This is a $465,093 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System to support research on characterizing the vertical structure and composition of cloud particles associated with storm systems and features on Saturn. The research aims to enhance understanding of the dynamics of Saturn's polar vortices and the aftermath of the Great Storm of 2010-2011. The work will utilize data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping...
- This is a $305,251 federal grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on June 1, 2019. The grant supports research to characterize the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere and ring system using data from the Cassini-Huygens mission's Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer. The proposed work will involve a detailed mass spectrometry analysis to quantify the abundances of major and minor atmospheric constituents, as well as...
