About this award
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $312,650 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. As the prime contractor, the University will support NASA's research efforts by analyzing approximately 19,500 images of Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft's imaging science subsystem at a wavelength of 938 nanometers, which provides the best window for probing Titan's surface composition using this instrument. More than 80% of the images show surface features that will be examined under this grant. The University, located in Tucson, Arizona, will utilize its expertise in planetary science, engineering, and data analysis to characterize Titan's terrain and advance scientific understanding of Saturn's largest moon. No subcontractors or set-aside designations were specified. The award furthers NASA's planetary science objectives under its ongoing Cassini-Huygens mission through analysis of imagery gathered by one of the mission's primary instruments during its extensive exploration of the Saturn system.
Description
About 19,500 cassini ISS images of titan were taken at 938 NM wavelength. This is the best methane window for probing titan's surface with ISS, and more than 80% of these images show surface features. Although many images have pixel scales
