About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $135,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the early solar system and the formation of planets. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation.
The research will study the 1-500 km sized bodies called planetesimals that served as the building blocks of planets in the early solar system. Samples of these planetesimals, in the form of meteorites, will be analyzed to provide unique insights into the evolution of the early planetary bodies. This research aligns with NASA's broader mission to advance our scientific understanding of the solar system and its origins. MIT, a leading private research university, frequently partners with federal agencies like NASA on cutting-edge scientific investigations through both contracts and grants.
Description
The early solar system was filed with 1-500 KM bodies called planetesimals that served as the building blocks of planets. Today we have samples of planetesimals in the form of meteorites that provide unique records of early planetary evolution.
