About this award

This federal contract award, valued at $363,197.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization located in Tucson, Arizona. The contract focuses on developing a model to understand the effect of thermal cycling on ice and rock in planetary environments, and how this relates to induced damage and changes in their bulk properties. The award is designated as a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. PSI has an extensive history of conducting planetary science research and providing critical mission support services to NASA through both contract and grant awards. This contract aligns with NASA's strategic goals of expanding human knowledge through new scientific discoveries related to the exploration of planets, asteroids, comets, and other solar system bodies.

Description

The proposed work focuses on understanding the effect of thermal cycling on ICE and rock in planetary environments by developing a model relating their thermomechanical response to induced damage and changes in their bulk properties.
