- This is a $367,896.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a project titled "MAPPING OF SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE COLD TRAPS FOR ICE AND SUPERVOLATILES" and has a period of performance from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2026. PSI specializes in providing research services to federal agencies, particularly NASA, across a range of planetary science, space physics,...
- This is a $590,115.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a study to investigate the generation, redistribution, and mixing of regolith on the lunar surface. The research will develop a 3D model to track the age of impact melts and compare the results to lunar meteorite samples in order to assess scenarios of early lunar bombardment history. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $101,069.31 grant to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant, awarded under contract number 80NSSC19K0781, aims to develop new algorithms and computational methods to enable more accurate thermal modeling of airless planetary bodies, including the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. The work will focus on improving the ability to model the strong horizontal...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $415,466.28 grant is for research related to impact melt ponds, flows, and veneers found on the lunar surface, which may provide insights into the primary flux of inner solar system projectiles. The research will involve data analysis, modeling, and interpretation of spacecraft observations. The...
- This is a $345,791.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The purpose of the work is to conduct numerical simulations to investigate how in-situ segregation and frost heave may have contributed to the excess ice observed in the upper meter of the Martian regolith, with a focus on the Phoenix landing site and mid-latitude fresh crater sites in Utopia...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is a grant for $20,665.00 to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The grant is for a research project titled "Depositional Contacts of Loess CRB as Analogs for Lunar Regolith, Martian Dust, and the Matrix of Impact Ejecta Breccia Lobes - A Field Trip at the GSA Regional". The project aims to study the origin, characteristics, and evolution...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization, to provide analog support services to maximize science during the human exploration of the moon. The grant, valued at $29,998.00, is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The Planetary Science Institute has previous experience providing a range of research services to NASA related to the...
- This is a $353,405.66 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The award is for a three-year project led by senior scientists Dr. Scott C. Mest and Dr. R. Aileen Yingst to conduct geologic mapping and analysis of data from the Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 lunar missions. Key tasks include digitizing pre-mission maps, creating updated USGS geologic maps, and presenting results at annual Planetary...
- This is a $590,947 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The primary objective of this work is to produce a 1:1,000,000 scale geologic map of a region on the Moon that includes the pyroclastic dark mantle deposits in Sinus Aestuum, Rima Bode, and Mare Vaporum. The grant has two main tasks: 1) mapping the extent and distribution of these pyroclastic deposits,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $309,274.43 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, to conduct research on carbon dioxide ice deposits at the south polar region of Mars. The research aims to better constrain the flow of carbon dioxide ice under Martian conditions through laboratory studies of the ice's rheology, with the goal of determining the timing and duration of the ice flow. This will help reveal...
