About this award
This federal contract award 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 $438,882.04 grant is for research to analyze data collected by the Chang'E 2 Microwave Radiometer, which obtained the first-ever global maps of the Moon across multiple frequency ranges. The research aims to characterize the thermal and dielectric properties of the lunar surface. This grant-funded research supports NASA's planetary science objectives. PSI has an extensive portfolio of federal contract and grant awards, often as a prime contractor, focused on advancing scientific understanding of planetary systems through data analysis, modeling, and instrument development. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating PSI's competitiveness in securing awards based on technical merit.
