- 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...
- This is a $398,045.80 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona to study the formation and characteristics of ejecta blankets around fresh lunar craters. The research will use data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to map and analyze the complex surface features of these ejecta deposits, including the presence of impact melt. The goal is to better understand the excavation and emplacement processes of crater ejecta and how it...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research on the relaxation state of ancient lunar impact basins. The $221,730 grant will be used to characterize large, ancient lunar impact basins using a combination of gravity and topography data. The research aims to determine the extent of relaxation in these basins compared to younger, less-relaxed basins, in order to investigate the early thermal...
- This is a five-year, $511,291.16 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution. The grant supports a study of lunar impact melt flows, which aims to characterize the properties and behavior of superheated impact melt through geological mapping, experimental simulation, and numerical modeling. The project will leverage expertise in planetary science, materials science, and igneous processes to provide insights into fundamental...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $209,472.05 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate density anomalies in the lunar subsurface using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The work aims to provide insights into the early geologic evolution of the Moon, which has been largely obscured by heavy bombardment and volcanic resurfacing. The grant supports research to leverage...
- This is a $287,521.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a non-profit research organization. The grant supports two interdependent tasks: 1) characterizing the geochemical, petrological, and geophysical records of lunar mare provinces that lack clear associations with large impact basins, and 2) using numerical modeling to constrain the volcanic and tectonic structure of these regions....
- The University of New Mexico (UNM) has been awarded a $118,078.35 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to perform analytical transmission electron microscopy on amorphous condensate grain samples produced by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This work will provide detailed chemical, structural, and morphological data on approximately 10 samples per year of these complex nanomaterials. UNM has expertise in this area and has collaborated with NASA in the past on...
- 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, with ID NNX15AP92G, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to extend previous work related to the LCROSS lunar impact. The $252,979.70 grant will fund two efforts: 1) analyzing additional ground-based imaging data of the LCROSS plume to study particle properties, and 2) expanding ballistic modeling to more accurately determine the mass of regolith in the plume, which has implications for...
- This is a $534,205.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct lunar mineral mapping research. The grant will utilize data from lunar remote sensing missions like Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan-1, and Kaguya to map the mineralogy and infer the vertical structure of the lunar crust. The research aims to address key questions about the composition and formation of the lunar...
