About this award

This is a $374,002 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant will support research to re-visit the Moon using data from the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS). The research aims to better characterize the Moon's subsurface geochemistry and identify potentially useful minerals for in-situ resource utilization, to support future human and robotic exploration. The grant does not utilize a set-aside designation. PSI has an extensive portfolio of federal contract and grant awards, primarily from NASA and the National Science Foundation, supporting planetary science, space physics, and astronomy research. This award will leverage PSI's expertise in lunar data analysis and modeling to complement the original KPLO mission objectives.
