About this award
The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $488,672 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to conduct research analyzing and interpreting Cassini magnetic field data to constrain the structure and dynamics of Saturn's interior. The primary focus of this research is to characterize properties of the metallic hydrogen deep interior and other fundamental aspects of Saturn's planetary composition and behavior. The award, issued on January 28, 2021, with a completion date of January 27, 2025, represents a standard research grant with no small business set-aside designation, awarded through full and open competition based on technical merit. The work will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland facility.
This award reflects Johns Hopkins' established role as a premier research partner for NASA's space science initiatives. The institution maintains an extensive portfolio of NASA-funded investigations spanning planetary science, lunar and Martian exploration, and Earth science applications, with recent awards ranging from approximately $90,000 to $1.4 million. Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory, a specialized research entity within the institution, brings particular expertise in space exploration and instrumentation analysis, making it well-suited to conduct sophisticated magnetic field data analysis from the Cassini mission to Saturn.
