About this award
This grant award supports research comparing ice-atmosphere interactions across three bodies in the outer solar system: Mars, Pluto, and Triton. The Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, received $441,905 to conduct this fundamental planetary science research. The grant, awarded on November 9, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of November 8, 2025, was funded through a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. No set-aside designation was used for this competitively awarded grant, reflecting PSI's technical merit and established capabilities in planetary science research.
PSI is a recognized leader in planetary science research with extensive experience supporting NASA missions and conducting federally funded investigations across the solar system. This research project contributes to NASA's broader objectives in understanding planetary processes and surface-atmosphere interactions, which are critical for characterizing the geology and potential habitability of diverse planetary bodies. The work likely involves data analysis, theoretical modeling, and comparative analysis across these three distinct environments, leveraging PSI's demonstrated expertise in spacecraft data analysis, geological mapping, and planetary atmosphere characterization developed through previous NASA-funded research initiatives.
