This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for research to provide extensive geological and mineralogical evidence on the presence of liquid water on the surface of ancient Mars. Caltech has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards from NASA and the Department of Defense over the past 5 years for a range of...
This is a $410,288.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on the surface and subsurface of Mars. The overarching goal is to enhance the understanding of how the surface and subsurface of Mars may be in communication to bring waters of distinctive geochemistries to the surface. The research objectives are to map the distributions of secondary (water-related) minerals in the Terra...
This is a $115,725.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university focused on science and engineering. The grant supports research to understand the history of water on the surface of Mars by studying minerals formed from water-rock interactions, specifically phyllosilicates and partially chloritized smectites. The research objectives are to synthesize and characterize partially...
This is a $596,148 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for a research project to develop theoretical and experimental bases for understanding the varying chemical and mineralogical conditions of water-silicate reactions on planetary bodies. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 29, 2025. Caltech is a major recipient of NASA and Department of...
This is a $451,868 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to execute a balanced science program. The grant aligns with discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. Caltech will participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars,...
This is a $398,382.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to identifying and quantifying phyllosilicate (clay) minerals on planetary bodies throughout the solar system. The research aims to improve the ability to remotely detect and characterize these minerals, which are crucial indicators of past water-rock interactions. Key tasks include synthesizing and characterizing smectite...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on reconstructing the history of Jezero Crater Lake from remote 3D digital topography. The research is intended to provide a framework for the 2020 Mars Rover exploration mission. Caltech is a private research university that conducts significant scientific research and engineering services for NASA and the Department of...
This $79,045.00 federal grant award was issued by the Shared Services Center of a civilian U.S. government agency to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is part of the ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity, which aims to execute a balanced science program, support the agency's exploration initiative, and advance discovery in emerging fields. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, as...
