- The Regents of the University of Idaho was awarded a $191,073.85 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the spectral and photometric properties of material emerging from Saturn's moon Enceladus using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument. The research objectives are to determine the plume particle size distribution, investigate the ice particles' structures, and develop spectrophotometric...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AF85G, was granted to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, to conduct research on using Saturn's rings to investigate oscillations and asymmetries in the planet's interior. The $314,789.06 grant is part of the Cassini Data Analysis Program managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The research will focus on analyzing occultation data from the Cassini spacecraft's instruments, including...
- This federal contract award under NASA Grant NNX15AM23G is for the University of Idaho to develop and deliver advanced data products from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), and Radar instruments focused on Saturn's moon Titan. The $241,641.01 award is intended to provide these science-ready data products to the Planetary Data System (PDS) for use by new and casual Titan researchers. The award is not set aside. The University...
- The University of Idaho received a $520,281 research grant awarded on January 1, 2022, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026, from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The award supports scientific research to constrain the physical and chemical properties of Titan's surface layer by analyzing surface reflectance phase function data obtained from the Cassini/VIMS (Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) instrument. Rather than relying on previous assumptions of...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AI77G, was issued by NASA to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The $287,245.57 grant will fund research to study wave activity, surface texture, and roughness on Titan's lakes and seas using data from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument. The goal is to understand momentum transfer at the sea/air interface to inform meteorological and climatological models of Titan. This...
- This federal contract award, valued at $337,474.84, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The contract is a grant for research to analyze observations from the Cassini/VIMS instrument of transient broad specular reflections in Titan's north polar lake district using radiative transfer modeling. The purpose is to map these "wet sidewalk" effects and test hypotheses...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $200,101.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Idaho (University of Idaho) to conduct research on the long-term chaotic obliquity variations and their evolution for terrestrial planets over billion-year timescales. This research aims to investigate the climate variability resulting from obliquity over the lifetime of the Sun for early Venus, moonless Earth, Mars, and hypothetical systems around M-dwarf stars. The...
- This is a $995,194 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, a prominent public land-grant research university, to execute a balanced science program. The contract is focused on conducting scientific research in areas such as the Moon, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields through cross-disciplinary opportunities. The university will also participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration...
- This $132,086.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, for a research project titled "THE ROLE OF SMALL-SCALE TARGET HETEROGENEITIES IN THE FORMATION AND MORPHOLOGY OF SMALL CRATERS". The grant has a period of performance through May 31, 2025 and is not associated with a set-aside program. The University of Idaho is a top-ranked public university in Idaho...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is for $546,019 to explore the color of the Enceladus plume. The prime contractor is the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, located in Moscow, Idaho. The contract type is a grant for research with an other pricing type and has a completion date of January 31, 2027. No set-aside designation was used. The potential value of $546,019 will...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a grant worth $136,590.00 to the Regents of the University of Idaho (University of Idaho) to conduct research using Cassini/VIMS near-infrared spectral mapping observations of Jupiter and Saturn. The research aims to provide solar system analogs for extrasolar giant planets and cloudy brown dwarfs by analyzing the night sides of Jupiter and Saturn to generate disk-integrated light curves and attribute variations to spatially-resolved atmospheric activity. This grant is relevant to NASA's Cassini Data Analysis Program (CDAP) as it enhances the scientific return from the Cassini mission. The University of Idaho, as a U.S. Government Entity and 1862 Land Grant College, has previously conducted research for NASA and other federal agencies on various topics, including Enceladus, firefighting foam, and agriculture, forestry, engineering, and environmental issues.
