About this award

This is a $395,394 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a research project titled "Hydrothermal and Periglacial Processes Following Large Impact Events May Be of Fundamental Importance in the Creation of Environments Conducive to Organic Chemistry". The research is focused on studying volatile-rich impact melt and hydrothermal carbonate processes on planetary surfaces, which may have implications for the formation of environments favorable to organic chemistry. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, as USRA is a large nonprofit entity. USRA has extensive experience supporting NASA's science missions and programs, including work on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) program and various NASA software and systems engineering projects.

Description

Hydrothermal and periglacial processes following large impact events may be of fundamental importance in the creation of environments conducive to organic chemistry. Dawn spacecraft observations of volatile-rich impact melt, hydrothermal carbonate
