About this award

The University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa, a public university system in Hawaii, has been awarded a $387,539 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on surface-exposed water ice on the Moon. The research aims to directly detect this ice through its unique infrared (IR) absorptions, with the potential to infer up to 30% ice by weight. The grant has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UH's status as a large educational institution. UH has extensive expertise in astronomy, earth and environmental sciences, and space-related research, as evidenced by its management of the Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) under a $85.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with NASA Headquarters. This award showcases UH's capabilities in providing critical facility management, science planning, and instrument development services to support NASA's objectives in space exploration and research.
