About this award
This federal contract award, with the identification number 80NSSC20K0771, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $1,033,535.00 grant will fund the development of the Lunar Heat Flux Radiometer (HFR), which will use microwave wavelengths to measure the geothermal heat flux of the lunar subsurface without the need for drilling. This work supports NASA's planetary science research goals by providing critical data on the thermal properties of the Moon. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating that PSI was selected competitively based on its expertise in planetary science, space physics, and related fields. PSI frequently collaborates with university partners and has received numerous grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation to conduct fundamental research on topics such as planetary formation, solar system evolution, and exoplanets.
