This federal contract, awarded by NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), supports research on active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io using ground-based observations. The $185,552 grant will enable PSI to create and share occultation lightcurves and tomographic reconstructions of Io's volcanic activity observed through Jupiter eclipses and mutual satellite occultations from 1985 to 2015. The data and analysis programs will be made publicly available through the Planetary Data System to...
This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The $202,589 grant is focused on studying the enigmatic atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Io, including analyzing data from the Cassini spacecraft's flyby to better understand the variability in Io's tenuous atmosphere. The research aims to constrain the sources of this atmospheric variability and investigate the plasma...
This is a $208,046 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to complete a digital database of data for Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io. The database is intended to serve as a spatial data infrastructure for the planetary science community to study Io's volcanic activity by consolidating data from the Galileo and Voyager missions as well as ground-based telescopic observations. The grant will fund ASU researchers to review datasets,...
This is a $289,272 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to study the plasma distribution in the Io torus during the Juno mission epoch. The proposed investigation aims to measure the plasma density and temperature structure in the Io torus, which is a prominent feature of Jupiter's magnetosphere, and use the results to test predictions about plasma behavior in Jupiter's dynamic magnetosphere. The...
This is a $338,120.99 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a study on the role of wave dynamics in the origin and evolution of "hot Jupiters", which are large exoplanets that orbit very close to their host stars. The work will use two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic simulations to understand how...
This $242,854 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University on July 8, 2019 under the Juno Participating Scientist Program. The grant supports research to characterize the influence of Jupiter's moon Io on the planet's magnetosphere. The research will correlate observations from the Hisaki satellite and the Juno spacecraft's plasma and energetic particle instruments to provide a more complete understanding of Jupiter's...
This is a $313,431.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, for a study on tidal heating, a fundamental planetary process that provides heat sources for many satellites in the outer solar system. The grant, with an ultimate completion date of October 25, 2023, will fund research into the tidal heating of moons like Io, Enceladus, and Europa. WHOI is a...
This is a $361,176.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for a project titled "RELATING JUPITERS AURORAL FEATURES TO MAGNETOSPHERIC SOURCE PROCESSES NEW INSIGHTS FROM JUNO". The project will run from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027 and involves conducting research related to the exploration of Jupiter's auroral features...
This is a $332,321.30 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, to conduct observations and research related to the dynamic processes on the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. The objectives include follow-up observations of Io's molecular atmosphere, continued monitoring of Io's volcanic activity, and improved mapping of condensed oxygen on Europa's surface. This...
This federal contract award to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, is to interpret the microwave radiometer (MWR) data from the Juno spacecraft's flybys of Ganymede, Europa, and Io. The $66,759.12 grant-funded contract, awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center, will support this planetary science research through September 2025. PSI has a long history of conducting research and providing scientific analysis for various NASA programs, including archiving...
