- This is a $282,580.14 grant award from NASA to the University of New Mexico (UNM) for a research project to analyze lunar samples returned by the Soviet Union's Luna missions. The goal is to place these samples in the context of recent NASA orbital missions like GRAIL, LRO, and M3, which have provided new insights into the geology of the lunar Crisium basin region. The project will involve interpreting remote sensing data, modeling the Crisium impact event, and examining the Luna sample suite....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $2,244,642 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to conduct research on the formation and alteration of early solar system materials. The research will provide insights through coordinated micro and nanoscale mineralogic, spectroscopic, and isotopic studies. No set-aside designation was specified. As the prime contractor, UNM will perform the research under the grant, which runs through August 15, 2025. The award supports...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to develop L-band interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing strategies and improved numerical methods to study earthquake hazards represented by subduction zones. The award does not have a set-aside designation. UNM, a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, will leverage its expertise in fields...
- This federal contract award, valued at $356,782.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) for research on the infrared circumstellar shell emission of galactic asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The objective is to determine mass-loss rates, luminosities, and distances of these stars. This award is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. UNM, a Hispanic-Serving Institution,...
- This federal contract award is for the ARTEMIS IN 3D-STEM CHALLENGE AND TRAINING PROGRAM, a $840,000.00 grant for research awarded to the University of New Mexico (UNM) by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center. The award is not set aside for any particular type of business. UNM, a public research university recognized as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will be the prime contractor delivering this program. The award has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025. UNM will...
- The University of New Mexico (UNM) was awarded a $376,051 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the near-identical oxygen isotope composition between Earth and the Moon, which challenges the widely-accepted Giant Impact Hypothesis for the Moon's formation. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation. UNM is a major public research institution and Hispanic-Serving Institution that conducts a wide range of scientific research and...
This federal contract award, valued at $1,988,294.21, was granted to the University of New Mexico (UNM) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The award, with a performance period ending on May 1, 2024, will support UNM's examination and analysis of lunar soil samples from the Apollo 17 mission. Specifically, the team will study volatile reservoirs and cycles on the Moon, investigate the magmatic-thermal history, analyze a lunar avalanche deposit, and assess the incorporation of meteoritic components into the lunar regolith. UNM will work closely with the Preliminary Examination team to catalog the samples and contextualize the findings with previous Apollo observations and recent orbital data. This award is not associated with a set-aside program.
