- This is a $166,964.43 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is for an "Experimental Investigation of Excess Shallow Ground Ice on Mars" and aims to test theories on the origin of excess ground ice on Mars, specifically the potential role of liquid water. The research will involve laboratory simulations to understand water transport and ice segregation processes, in order to better constrain...
- This is a $195,464.70 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the composition and layering of the Martian surface. The research aims to use data from the Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer to map the distribution and depth of compositionally distinct subsurface layers on Mars, and compare these findings to other Mars datasets. This grant is part of NASA's "Global Characterization of Near-Surface...
- This is a $431,265.61 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university. The grant supports a research project with the objectives of identifying stratigraphic tie points and correlating layered sedimentary deposits on Mars through analysis of physical, spectroscopic, and thermophysical properties. The goal is to establish the first regional framework for equatorial layered...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $110,903.98 grant for research by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The goal of the research is to use data from NASA's Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer to map the sodium (Na) content across the surface of Mars. This will help characterize the igneous and aqueous processes that formed and altered the Martian crust. The research project includes tasks such as mapping Na count rates, correcting the data...
- This is a $1,400,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a leading private research university, to execute a balanced science program. The grant will focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. The grant also includes efforts to develop a target-user focused approach...
- This is a $266,566.49 grant award from the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) to The Johns Hopkins University for research on changes in polar ice sheet extent, thickness distribution, and freeze/thaw timing over the past two decades. The grant has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2022. The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, MD, is conducting this scientific research without any set-aside designation. NASA has awarded The Johns Hopkins University...
- This is a $351,920 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a project titled "UNRAVELING THE ORIGIN AND NATURE OF NON-ICE SPECIES ON THE ICY GALILEAN MOONS" and has a performance period ending on July 11, 2026. The grant was awarded on July 12, 2024 and does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading research institution, The Johns Hopkins...
- This is a $362,060.26 grant from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded to The Johns Hopkins University to study unusual terrain features on the western flank of Olympus Mons on Mars. The research aims to characterize the origin and formational history of these anomalous terrains, which exhibit elevated thermal inertia, variable albedo, and possible indicators of recent aqueous activity or presence of salt-bearing materials. The grant...
- This is a $302,427.49 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is part of NASA's Lunar Data Analysis Program and aims to use data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument to characterize the mineralogy and cooling rates of orthopyroxene-rich deposits on the lunar surface. The research seeks to understand the evolution of the lunar crust and mantle by analyzing the composition and provenance of these...
- This is a $281,350.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct research on the distribution, origin, and age of water ice deposits at Mercury's poles. The grant is part of NASA's overall effort to advance scientific understanding of the solar system. The research will leverage data from Earth-based radar and the MESSENGER spacecraft to address fundamental questions about Mercury's polar...
This is a $310,383.17 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to characterize the distribution and variability of Martian subsurface ices using 16 years of data from the Mars Odyssey Neutron Spectrometer. The project aims to map ice deposits, including their time-dependent spatial extents, for comparisons with global climate models to investigate climate change on Mars. The research will involve applying enhanced data calibration and correction algorithms, modeling neutron production and moderation, creating high-resolution neutron count rate maps, and analyzing the short-term evolution and variability of the Martian climate. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and there are no major subcontractors mentioned. As a leading research university, The Johns Hopkins University has a long history of supporting critical national initiatives through its scientific expertise and advanced technological capabilities.
