- This federal contract award from NASA, valued at $278,305.00, was granted to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The award supports research to investigate the coupling between the surface, magnetosphere, and exospheres of Saturn's icy moons, including Mimas, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea. The research will leverage a combination of plasma modeling, particle-based electrostatic models, and data analysis of Cassini spacecraft...
- This federal contract award was granted by a civilian U.S. government agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university. The $350,641 grant is for research to probe the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), and Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) instruments. The research aims to determine the vertical...
- This federal contract award, valued at $511,113.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The contract is for research related to Titan, a solar system object with an induced magnetosphere, and the motions of the incident plasma. This is an example of UC Berkeley's extensive work with federal agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense,...
- Georgia TECH Research Corp, operating through its Office of Sponsored Programs, was awarded a $348,762 grant on February 1, 2023, to conduct research on Titan's magnetospheric environment through remote sensing analysis. The project leverages data from 126 Cassini spacecraft flybys to characterize the structure and variability of Titan's induced magnetosphere by combining energetic neutral atom (ENA) observations and magnetic field measurements with numerical modeling. This research addresses...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AL42G, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The objectives of the work are to derive spatial and temporal variations of Titan's surface temperature by analyzing data from the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) and to compare the results to predictions from an atmospheric general circulation model. The contract, valued at $121,328.39, is a grant for research that extends a...
- 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...
- This federal contract award, valued at $312,055.43, was granted to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct scientific research related to characterizing the distribution of carbon ions in Saturn's magnetosphere. The research aims to provide insights into the composition and activity of the Enceladus plume as well as Titan's atmospheric loss, by leveraging data from the Cassini mission. The award does not have a set-aside designation....
- 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 $618,627.78 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study the interior of Saturn using data from the Cassini spacecraft's "Grand Finale" orbits. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework to understand the dynamics of helium rain and the effects of composition gradients in Saturn's interior. The project will leverage first-principles materials simulations and thermal evolution modeling to compare predicted gravity field data...
