About this award
Stony Brook University, through The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, was awarded a $187,983.95 grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on February 11, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2025. The research project will provide thermal inertia and conductivity measurements of 50 sedimentary and igneous rock samples with varying density, compaction, and porosity characteristics under Martian atmospheric pressures—representing the first comprehensive study of its kind. The work will be performed at Stony Brook's facilities in Stony Brook, New York, and carries no set-aside designation, indicating open competition procurement.
This award supports fundamental planetary science research with applications to Mars exploration missions. Stony Brook University's materials characterization expertise and advanced analytical infrastructure position the institution as an appropriate partner for such specialized geoscience research. The university's substantial federal research portfolio, including prior work in materials science, advanced ceramics, and environmental research, demonstrates its established capacity to execute complex scientific investigations. The thermal property measurements resulting from this study will contribute essential data for understanding Martian geology and supporting future exploration and resource assessment initiatives.
Description
The proposed work will provide, for the first time, thermal inertia and conductivity measurements of a suite of 50 sedimentary and igneous rock samples of widely varying density, compaction and porosity, under martian atmospheric pressures.
