About this award
This is a $515,116.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a research project to obtain quantitative information about the lunar regolith, or surface material, using remote-sensing techniques. The goal is to better understand how the irregularly shaped lunar regolith particles scatter light, which is necessary for interpreting remote observations of the Moon. SSI, which has extensive experience supporting NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, will leverage its scientific expertise in areas such as planetary science and astrophysics to conduct this research. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, as SSI competes for awards based on technical merit. This award is part of NASA's broader efforts to advance understanding of the lunar environment and support future lunar exploration activities.
Description
In order to obtain quantitative information about the lunar regolith using remote-sensing techniques, IT is necessary to know how the regolith scatters light. Lunar regolith is composed of large, irregularly shaped particles in close contact. Such SY
