This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research investigating the geology and aqueous alteration history of the South Isidis region of Mars. The $479,900 grant will fund analyses of orbital spectral and imaging data to address specific science questions, including the formation of phyllosilicates, carbonates, and other minerals, the effects of geologic processes like the Isidis...
This is a $377,913 grant award from NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to investigate and characterize the occurrence of "doublet" materials found in light-toned outcrops and interior layered deposits on Mars. The goal is to determine the factors influencing the formation of this unique phase and understand its stratigraphy and geologic context relative to nearby minerals like phyllosilicates and sulfates. This research falls under NASA's broader...
This $739,218 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Mountain View, California. The contract is for research to advance understanding of aqueous alteration and gypsum formation at Olympia Undae on Mars, through analysis of data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) and High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instruments. This work supports...
This is a $550,810 grant awarded by NASA to the non-profit SETI Institute to conduct research in support of future Mars exploration missions focused on identifying signs of past life. The research will take place at an analog site in Iceland, with the goal of developing the science, operations, and technology required to search for biosignatures at hydrothermal sinter deposits on Mars, specifically in the Nili Patera caldera region. The proposed work will involve field experiments, sample...
This is a $82,827.46 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant will fund a continuation of spectroscopic investigations by Dr. Osterloo, a research scientist at SSI, to further understand the composition and formation of chloride salt deposits on the surface of Mars. The work will build on previous efforts, utilizing the same spectral library and methods to...
This federal contract award to the Seti Institute, a non-profit research organization, supports a 4-year multidisciplinary research program for NASA's strategic and science plan goals. The research focuses on water in the solar system and steps towards human exploration of Mars, involving theoretical and concept studies, spacecraft data analysis, field investigations, and collaborative workshops. The $5,984,612 grant is awarded under NASA's Planetary Science and Exploration Studies program,...
This is a $394,465.00 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 research related to the early climate and geologic conditions on Mars that may have supported the presence of liquid water. This work supports NASA's strategic goals of expanding knowledge through new scientific discoveries about our solar system. PSI frequently conducts research for...
This federal contract award to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, is for a research project to study the spatial distribution of carbonate deposits in the Nili Fossae region of Mars using data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM). The $351,055 grant is funded by NASA's Planetary Science Division and will apply novel data analysis techniques to better understand the mineral associations and formation of the Nili Fossae carbonates. The...
This is a $556,040.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government-funded institution of higher learning. The grant supports research focused on interpreting the primary geologic processes and history that formed the Martian geologic record, with an emphasis on the role of water. The University's expertise in characterizing multiple episodes of water-rock reactions recorded in seafloor and ophiolitic...
This is a $178,027 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The grant is for a research project titled "THE CLIMATE ON MARS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ITS FORMATION IS POORLY CONSTRAINED." The project aims to study the potential for greenhouse warming on early Mars due to hydrogen-rich atmospheres. The contract does not have a...
