- The University of Arizona (operating as the Arizona Board of Regents) received a $443,494.91 research grant awarded on June 1, 2019, by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2025. The grant supports continued analysis of Saturn's upper atmosphere using data from the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) instrument. The research builds upon previous occultation observations that have provided extensive constraints on Saturn's atmospheric density,...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $312,650 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. As the prime contractor, the University will support NASA's research efforts by analyzing approximately 19,500 images of Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft's imaging science subsystem at a wavelength of 938 nanometers, which provides the best window for probing Titan's surface composition using this...
- This is a $321,657 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant is for research related to NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, which studied the planet's atmosphere and Titan's methane-based weather systems. As a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, the University of Arizona has extensive expertise across scientific and...
- This is a $102,368.37 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (dba Arizona Board of Regents) for research on Titan's atmosphere and climate. The grant supports the analysis of existing spectral data from the Keck Observatory to measure the seasonal and latitudinal variations in Titan's tropospheric methane. The research aims to improve understanding of Titan's climate, including cloud, storm, and rain processes, and the transport...
- This federal contract award, valued at $465,182.00, was granted to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract is a grant for research related to the Cassini mission, which provided unprecedented observations of Saturn's upper atmosphere during its 13-year orbit. The award does not have a set-aside designation and is for a performance period ending on April 30, 2026....
- This is a $338,303.17 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to analyze observations of the UV airglow emissions from Saturn's upper atmosphere using the Hubble Space Telescope's UVIS instrument. The analysis will investigate the structure of Saturn's thermosphere and constrain the hydrogen abundance and energy deposition processes. This research will also facilitate studies of Saturn's ionosphere, the interaction of the ring system...
- This federal contract award, valued at $541,066.98, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on Titan's atmosphere and its interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere. The research aims to advance the scientific understanding of the processes in Titan's lower ionosphere, which was not directly sampled by the Cassini mission. The project will utilize a three-dimensional particle code to model...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $324,586.00 grant is for a scientific investigation utilizing data from the Cassini mission to study interactions between Titan's upper atmosphere and its magnetospheric environment. The research will correlate observations from the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) and Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS)...
- This is a $349,576.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the ultraviolet airglow emissions from Titan as observed by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). The research aims to analyze the behavior of Titan's dayglow and nightglow over a solar cycle using the extensive UVIS dataset collected from 2004 to 2015. The study will leverage modeling tools to better understand the sources of Titan's nightglow,...
- This is a research grant awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit applied research organization. The grant, valued at $120,580.83, will fund a study on the role of aerosols and cloud formation in Titan's atmosphere. The objectives are to: 1) measure the vapor pressure of benzene at Titan-relevant temperatures, 2) produce analogs of Titan's aerosols and study benzene condensation, 3) use experimental data to model cloud formation, and 4) compare results to...
