About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $352,952.13, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university in Pasadena, California. The contract is a grant for research to conduct global high-resolution mapping of glacial units on Mars and calculate constraints on the long-term evolution of the Martian climate. This work aims to further understand how the Amazonian climate of Mars has changed significantly over time, as evidenced by the presence of debris-covered glacial water ice in non-polar regions where it is not stable at the surface. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category, reflecting Caltech's extensive expertise and capabilities in space exploration and climate science research. As a leading research institution, Caltech frequently collaborates with major contractors and federal agencies on advanced research and development projects across various domains, including space technology, quantum computing, and national security.
