- This is a $74,842.15 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a nonprofit research institution and 1862 land grant university located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The grant is for research related to the detection of very high energy neutrinos from the TXS 0506+056 gamma-ray flare, which could indicate a hadronic origin of blazar emission. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Purdue University has a history of supporting NASA...
- This is a $98,446.55 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution. The grant is to study the effects of space weathering on the surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids, moons, and planetary surfaces. The research will examine how micrometeorite impacts and solar wind irradiation continuously modify these surfaces. The grant has an August 2023 completion date and was awarded in August 2020....
- This is a $394,767.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit institution of higher education and research. The grant is for the study of planetary processes through investigation of the lunar crust. This contract is not associated with a set-aside program. Purdue University has a long history of providing research, prototypes, and subject matter expertise to various U.S. government agencies through federal contracts and...
- This is a $345,307.07 grant awarded by NASA to Purdue University to conduct research on the effects of space weathering on sulfide minerals and solar flare tracks in returned samples from asteroid missions. The research aims to improve understanding of the evolution of planetary surfaces and regolith dynamics on small bodies. It is directly relevant to NASA's goals of ascertaining the content, origin, and evolution of the solar system and advancing the understanding of chemical and physical...
- This is a $133,245.21 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to Purdue University for research on the phenomenon of space weathering of carbon-rich asteroidal regolith through experimental simulations and analysis of returned samples. The research is being conducted by student Dara Laczniak. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. Purdue University is a prominent 1862 Land Grant College and not-for-profit educational institution that...
- This is a $336,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a prominent 1862 Land Grant College and not-for-profit educational institution. The grant is for the NSTGRO fellowship program, which focuses on graduate student research and development of advanced and innovative space technologies critical for meeting national goals in exploring and understanding the Earth, solar system, and universe. The grant is not set-aside and has an...
- This is a $137,865 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University to advance the understanding of lunar pyroclastic deposits. The goal of this 3-year research program is to characterize the mineralogic components and eruption characteristics of these volcanic deposits on the Moon, which may provide insight into early lunar volcanism and potential resources for future lunar exploration. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a premier...
- This federal contract award, valued at $337,999.32, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University to continue development of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) measurement capabilities. The goals are to lower detection limits for commonly measured radionuclides like 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and 129I, and develop techniques for measuring 53Mn and 41Ca in extraterrestrial samples. This work supports NASA's objectives for improved precision, resolution,...
- This federal contract award is a grant for $564,463.00 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, an institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The primary objective of the contract is to explore the impact environment of the early solar system and investigate whether impacts are an important chondrule forming process. The contract has a completion date of March 31, 2025 and was awarded on April 1, 2020. No...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a non-profit institution of higher education and research located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The $190,148.00 grant is for research to develop sample containment systems that can preserve fragile and transitory characteristics of lunar samples, such as solar wind volatiles and volatile coatings. This award is not associated with a set-aside program. Purdue University...
This is a $464,000 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a public land-grant research university, for the purpose of further developing techniques to measure and interpret cosmic-ray-produced (cosmogenic) nuclides in samples returned from asteroids, the Moon, and other planetary bodies. The work will leverage Purdue's gas-filled-magnet (GFM) capability to enable highly sensitive and precise measurements of nuclides like beryllium-10, aluminum-26, chlorine-36, calcium-41, and manganese-53. This data on cosmogenic nuclides will provide key information about the exposure conditions and durations of the returned samples, which is crucial for understanding the dynamic nature of asteroid and lunar regolith. The research is directly relevant to NASA's Laboratory Analysis of Returned Samples (LARS) program. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
