About this award
The Johns Hopkins University received a $836,977 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center for the project "Low-Gravity Assessment of Crater Ejecta Emplacement" (SOLICIT 19-SSW19-0100). The award, issued on October 26, 2020, supports research addressing the dynamics of granular regolith on small celestial bodies, with the ultimate completion date set for October 25, 2026. This research contributes to understanding near-surface evolution of small bodies from primitive to modified worlds through remote sensing and analysis of returned samples. The contract carries no set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through open competition based on technical merit and capability.
The work will be performed at Johns Hopkins University's location in Baltimore, Maryland. The university's Applied Physics Laboratory and established expertise in aerospace research and space exploration systems position it well to conduct sophisticated analysis of crater ejecta emplacement mechanics in low-gravity environments. This grant supports fundamental scientific research that informs mission planning and sample analysis methodologies for ongoing and future small body exploration missions conducted by federal space agencies.
