About this award
The Space Science Institute (SSI), a Boulder, Colorado-based nonprofit research organization, received a $274,967 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, with performance concluding on February 7, 2025. Under this award, SSI will lead SuperCam observations to measure atmospheric column abundances of molecular oxygen, water vapor, and carbon monoxide on Mars, while also characterizing atmospheric aerosol composition and properties. These measurements address surprising oxygen observations and are designed to enhance understanding of atmospheric processes and surface-atmosphere interactions through the SuperCam instrument suite. The contract was awarded on a non-set-aside basis, reflecting selection based on scientific and technical merit.
SSI's substantial track record executing complex planetary science research initiatives makes it well-suited for this investigation. The organization specializes in planetary atmospheric modeling, spacecraft data analysis, and remote sensing investigations, with demonstrated expertise across multiple NASA science programs. This SuperCam atmospheric research award aligns with SSI's core competencies in Mars science and contributes to NASA's broader Martian exploration objectives by improving characterization of the Red Planet's atmospheric composition and dynamics.
Description
We propose to lead supercam observations to measure the atmospheric column abundances of molecular oxygen, water vapor, and carbon monoxide, as well as atmospheric aerosol composition and properties. These measurements are motivated by surprising O2
