This federal contract award was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The $678,815.38 grant supports a detailed study of the sulfate deposits and a dark-toned marker bed within Aeolis Mons (also known as Mount Sharp) in Gale Crater on Mars. The research aims to characterize the composition, distribution, and stratigraphy of these features using data from various Mars orbiters, in order to provide insights into the geological history of Gale Crater and the formation of sulfates on Mars. This work is relevant to NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP), which seeks to enhance scientific return from Mars missions. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating PSI's technical capabilities as a competitive prime contractor for this NASA-funded research.
