- This is a $548,949.76 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research to better understand the role of atmospheric gravity waves on Mars, which can impact spacecraft operations and the dynamics of the Martian atmosphere. The project will leverage data from multiple NASA spacecraft, including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Global...
- 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...
- The Space Science Institute (SSI), a Boulder, Colorado-based nonprofit research organization, received a $274,967 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, with performance concluding on February 7, 2025. Under this award, SSI will lead SuperCam observations to measure atmospheric column abundances of molecular oxygen, water vapor, and carbon monoxide on Mars, while also characterizing atmospheric aerosol composition and properties. These measurements address surprising oxygen...
- This is a $272,800 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a research project to simulate the spatial distributions of carbon monoxide and oxygen in order to better understand the chemical stability of Venus' atmosphere. The grant has a period of performance ending on July 19, 2026. SSI has a history of federal contract and...
- This is a $498,136 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for SSI to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant focuses on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as part of NASA's...
- This is a $125,678 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of the project is to derive optical constants (refractive indices) from laboratory reflectance spectra for a set of geologically relevant carbonate minerals that have been observed on Mars. This data is needed to better identify the specific chemical compositions and quantify the abundances of known carbonates on...
- This is a $444,327 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports a data analysis program focused on studying the properties and distribution of aerosols in the Martian middle atmosphere, using data from instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft. The analysis will leverage existing radiative transfer and...
- This is a $96,651 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a research project to investigate the composition and formation of domes and hills in the Arcadia Planitia region of Mars. The project aims to use data from various Mars orbital instruments, including the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) and the Thermal...
- This is a $823,136 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for SSI to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. SSI will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific...
- This is a $481,844 federal grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a project titled "Examination of Potentially Hydrated Lunar Volcanic Terrains Using Orbital Imaging Spectrometer Data" and has a period of performance through August 31, 2026. SSI specializes in scientific research, data analysis, and services across disciplines like astrophysics, planetary...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this $339,938.79 project is to better characterize the water vapor cycle on Mars. The specific objectives are to study global variations in the vertical distribution of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere at different seasons, and to develop a vertical distribution model of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere. This award is not a set-aside contract. SSI has a history of providing advanced scientific research, data analysis, and technical services to federal agencies like NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy through both contract awards and grant funding.
