- This federal contract award, valued at $377,109.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The objective of this grant is to improve access to data collected by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) for the planetary science community, including the next generation of scientists. The Cassini mission provided over 13 years of high-quality...
- This federal contract award was granted by a civilian U.S. government agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university. The $350,641 grant is for research to probe the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), and Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) instruments. The research aims to determine the vertical...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the amount of $338,141.28 was granted to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of this grant is to investigate the link between tidal stresses on Saturn's moon Enceladus and the local and global eruption activity observed by the Cassini spacecraft. The work will involve modeling the tidal stresses in Enceladus' interior and...
- Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, received a $450,830 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded on January 10, 2022, with a completion date of January 9, 2027. This competitively awarded grant carries no set-aside designation and funds a research project investigating the effects of exogenic processes on the surfaces of Saturn's inner large icy satellites—specifically Mimas, Tethys, Enceladus, Dione, and Rhea. The...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The $284,947.68 grant is for research related to the Cassini mission's discovery of eruptions from fissures near Enceladus' south pole. The contract has a completion date of January 28, 2022 and was awarded on January 1, 2020. The contract is not designated as a set-aside. Through past prime contracts, Planetary...
- This is a $349,576.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the ultraviolet airglow emissions from Titan as observed by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). The research aims to analyze the behavior of Titan's dayglow and nightglow over a solar cycle using the extensive UVIS dataset collected from 2004 to 2015. The study will leverage modeling tools to better understand the sources of Titan's nightglow,...
- The University of Virginia was awarded a $167,269 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct a comprehensive analysis of plasma distributions in Saturn's magnetosphere, specifically focusing on Titan's atmospheric interaction with the planet's magnetospheric plasma. The research leverages data collected by the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) instrument during its nine years of orbital operations around Saturn. The project addresses a critical gap in scientific understanding by...
- This is a $236,995.00 federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (an agency within NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant funds a research project to study the presence and role of non-ice materials in the Saturnian system, utilizing the unique characteristics of the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range. Key objectives include investigating the nature of dark, non-ice species on several of Saturn's moons and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $541,066.98, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on Titan's atmosphere and its interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere. The research aims to advance the scientific understanding of the processes in Titan's lower ionosphere, which was not directly sampled by the Cassini mission. The project will utilize a three-dimensional particle code to model...
- Georgia TECH Research Corp, operating through its Office of Sponsored Programs, was awarded a $348,762 grant on February 1, 2023, to conduct research on Titan's magnetospheric environment through remote sensing analysis. The project leverages data from 126 Cassini spacecraft flybys to characterize the structure and variability of Titan's induced magnetosphere by combining energetic neutral atom (ENA) observations and magnetic field measurements with numerical modeling. This research addresses...
