About this award
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $310,026, is for research related to the Dawn mission's observations of dwarf planet Ceres, specifically the characterization of perennially shadowed regions and bright (ice) deposits. The work will involve computational ray-tracing based on available topographic models. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Through this and other prime federal contracts and grants, the Planetary Science Institute provides a range of research services to NASA and other agencies, including data analysis, modeling, software development, and mission planning support for planetary exploration. The institute frequently collaborates with university partners on these research efforts, which aim to further NASA's goals in planetary science and expand fundamental knowledge of our solar system.
